The D- and L-isomers of beta-chloroalanine inhibit the growth of Diplococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli. With pneumococcus the inhibition by beta-chloro-D-alanine is completely prevented by either D-alanine or D-alanyl-D-alanine, while L-alanine is not effective in preventing

The sphingolipids biosynthesis pathway generates bioactive molecules crucial to the regulation of physiological processes. We have recently reported that DAG (diacylglycerol) generated during sphingomyelin synthesis, plays an important role in PKC (protein kinase C) activation, necessary for the transit through

The mitochondrial and cytosolic branched-chain aminotransferases (BCAT(m) and BCAT(c)) are homodimers in the fold type IV class of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-containing enzymes that also contains D-amino acid aminotransferase and 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase (a beta-lyase). Recombinant human BCAT(m) and BCAT(c) were shown to

A highly sensitive method has been developed for the determination of gamma-cystathionase (EC. 4.4.1.1.) activity in rat tissues using beta-chloro-L-alanine as a substrate. This method is based on colorimetry for the determination of pyruvate produced from beta-chloro-L-alanine with the beta-elimination

Rat liver mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (a homodimer) was shown to catalyse a beta-lyase reaction with three nephrotoxic halogenated cysteine S-conjugates [ S -(1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl)-L-cysteine, S -(1,2-dichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine and S -(2-chloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethyl)-L-cysteine], and less effectively so with a non-toxic cysteine S-conjugate [benzothiazolyl-L-cysteine].
