Abstract

The effect of protein feeding and the addition of amino acids on the activity of hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP : oxalacetate carboxylyase (transphosphorylating), EC 4.1.1.32) was investigated in vivo and in the isolated perfused rat liver. Protein feeding resulted in a considerable increase in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity within 6 h. This rise was independent of the presence of glucocorticoids. In the isolated perfused liver system amino acids per se had a small effect on phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity and led to an increase by 20% when glucocorticoids were present, but resulted in a rise by 100% when glucocorticoids plus dibutyryl cyclic AMP were added to the perfusion medium. The effect of amino acids in the presence of dibutyryl cyclic AMP could also be observed in the liver of glucocorticoid-deprived rats. Cycloheximide, a translational inhibitor, totally blocked all effects of amino acids on enzyme activity. These results indicate that the concentration of amino acids in the portal vein modify the regulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase by cyclic AMP.

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
