Abstract The precise regulatory role in protein synthesis by facilitating interactions with mRNA codons for various tRNA modifications is unclear. We previously reported that enhanced green fluorescent (GFP) reduced GFP expression human methionine-conjugated initiator (tRNAi)/tRNA synthetase pairs under methionine-deficient conditions. Here, we investigated the effect of non-formylated Escheric...

The transport of l-methionine by the gram-positive species Brevibacterium linens CNRZ 918 is described. The one transport system (K(m) = 55 muM) found is constitutive for l-methionine, stereospecific, and pH and temperature dependent. Entry of l-methionine into cells is controlled by the internal methionine pool. Competition studies indicate that l-methionine and alpha-aminobutyric acid share a...

this study surveys on the effects of l-lysine and methionon amino acids on growth performance, survival rate and body composition of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss). fish with initial average weight 105.23 +  6.33 g in 5 treatments fed with different levels of lysine (1 and 3 %) and methionine ( 1 and 2%) for 8 weeks. the results showed that the treatment which fed 2 % methionine had the be...

Methionine gamma-lyase (MGL) catalyzes the degradation of L-methionine to alpha-ketobutyrate, methanethiol and ammonia. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome includes a single gene (At1g64660) encoding a protein (AtMGL) with approximately 35% identity to bacterial and protozoan MGLs. When overexpressed in Escherichia coli, AtMGL allowed growth on L-methionine as sole nitrogen source and...

Abstract The amino acid l -methionine is an essential and commonly used as a feed supplement in terrestrial animals. It less suitable for marine organisms because it readily excreted. also highly water soluble this results loss of the eutrophication water. To address these problems, dipeptide dl -methionyl- (trade name: AQUAVI Met-Met) has been developed dedicated methionine source aquaculture....

In mammals, methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT), the enzyme responsible for S-adenosylmethionine (AdoMet) synthesis, is encoded by two genes, MAT1A and MAT2A. In liver, MAT1A expression is associated with high AdoMet levels and a differentiated phenotype, whereas MAT2A expression is associated with lower AdoMet levels and a dedifferentiated phenotype. In the current study, we examined regulati...

1. Metabolism, in broiler chicks, of DL-2-hydroxy 4-methylthiobutanoic acid (DL-HMB), DL-methionine and L-methionine was compared in vivo using 14C-labelled tracers. 2. The distribution of L-[1-14C]methionine and DL-[1-14C]HMB in the major body tissues was examined for a period of 120 min after administration. 3. The relative oxidation (14CO2 exhaled), excretion and incorporation into tissue pr...

In a previous communication from this laboratory (l), a method was described for the enzymatic resolution of Dr.,-methionine. The ready availability of the optically active enantiomorphs has made possible the application of the carbobenzoxy method to the synthesis of peptides of Land n-methionine. A search of the literature has indicated that the only methionine peptide described thus far is gl...
