Under "nongratuitous" inducing conditions, in Pseudomonas saccharophila, d-and l-valine and l-isoleucine inhibit net protein synthesis. At a concentration of 0.5 mumole or greater of valine per mg of bacterial protein, net protein synthesis declined approximately 70%. The inhibitory effect of valine is proportional to the exogenous valine concentration. Studies of (14)C amino acid incorporation...

Six experiments were conducted to determine the true digestible valine requirement of 5- to 20-kg pigs. In Exp. 1, a valine-deficient diet for 5- to 10-kg pigs was developed and validated in terms of growth performance in response to supplemental L-valine. A different basal diet was validated for 10- to 20-kg pigs in Exp. 2. Both diets were demonstrated to be deficient in valine and to support ...

Norton, J. E. (University of Oklahoma School of Medicine, Oklahoma City), and J. R. Sokatch. Oxidation of d- and l-valine by enzymes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. J. Bacteriol. 92:116-120. 1966.-Cell-free extracts prepared from Pseudomonas aeruginosa grown on dl-valine catalyzed the consumption of oxygen with several d-amino acids, but not with the corresponding l-amino acids. The product of d-val...

We previously demonstrated efficient L-valine production by metabolically engineered Corynebacterium glutamicum under oxygen deprivation. To achieve the high productivity, a NADH/NADPH cofactor imbalance during the synthesis of l-valine was overcome by engineering NAD-preferring mutant acetohydroxy acid isomeroreductase (AHAIR) and using NAD-specific leucine dehydrogenase from Lysinibacillus sp...

The L-valine production strain of Escherichia coli was constructed by rational metabolic engineering and stepwise improvement based on transcriptome analysis and gene knockout simulation of the in silico genome-scale metabolic network. Feedback inhibition of acetohydroxy acid synthase isoenzyme III by L-valine was removed by site-directed mutagenesis, and the native promoter containing the tran...

the formation constants (log k), of the complexes formed between a number of amino acids(glycine , l-valine and l-alanine) with p-sulfonatocalix [4] arene at varying temperatures (25± 0.1to 65 ± 0.1 °c) in aqueous solutions and at natural ph of p-sulphonato-calix [4] arene (ph=3.2) bymeans of uv-vis spectrophotometeric technique have been investigated. at this ph the guestmolecule is in its cat...

Addition of L-valine (50 to 200 mM) to glucose minimal medium had no effect on the growth of wild-type Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 but inhibited the growth of the derived valine production strain VAL1 [13032 DeltailvA DeltapanBC(pJC1ilvBNCD)] in a concentration-dependent manner. In order to explore this strain-specific valine effect, genomewide expression profiling was performed using...

It has been reported that treatment with branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) increases the survival rates in cirrhotic patients. In this study, we investigated the effect of L-valine, one of BCAAs, on liver fibrosis in rat. To induce liver fibrosis, male Wistar rats were injected carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) intraperitoneally (2.0 mL/kg) twice a week for 12 weeks. The rats (seven to fifteen rats ...
