Inhibition of bovine liver lysine-ketoglutarate reductase by urea cycle metabolites and saccharopine. 1987

Lysine-ketoglutarate reductase was purified 675-fold from bovine liver mitochondria. Product inhibition studies gave results similar to those reported for this enzyme extracted from other sources. Inhibition studies with L-citrulline exhibited mixed inhibition patterns. No inhibition of the partially-purified enzyme by ammonium salts was detected; in contrast, marked inhibition of the enzyme by ammonium was apparently observed in crude liver homogenates. This was probably due to depletion of NADPH and/or 2-oxoglutarate in the assay mixture as a result of conversion of ammonium to glutamate by glutamate dehydrogenase. A similar explanation could account for the high levels of lysine observed in humans with urea cycle disorders.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008239 Lysine An essential amino acid. It is often added to animal feed. Enisyl,L-Lysine,Lysine Acetate,Lysine Hydrochloride,Acetate, Lysine,L Lysine
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D000641 Ammonia A colorless alkaline gas. It is formed in the body during decomposition of organic materials during a large number of metabolically important reactions. Note that the aqueous form of ammonia is referred to as AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE.
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012443 Saccharopine Dehydrogenases Amine oxidoreductases that use either NAD+ (EC 1.5.1.7) or NADP+ (EC 1.5.1.8) as an acceptor to form L-LYSINE or NAD+ (EC 1.5.1.9) or NADP+ (EC 1.5.1.10) as an acceptor to form L-GLUTAMATE. Deficiency of this enzyme causes HYPERLYSINEMIAS.

It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
