Effect of nonprotein thiols on protein synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes.
1996
The ability of nonprotein thiols to modulate rates of protein synthesis was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Addition of cysteine stimulates protein labelling by [14C]Leucine. Glutathione depletion, induced by in vivo administration of L-buthionine sulfoximine and diethylmaleate, did not alter the effect of cysteine, although it decreased the rate of protein synthesis by 32%. The effect of cysteine on protein synthesis does not seem to be related to a perturbation of the redox state of the NAD+/NADH system or to changes in the rate of gluconeogenic pathway. The following observations indicate that cysteine may stimulate protein synthesis by increasing intracellular levels of aspart…
Reactive oxygen and ethylene are involved in the regulation of regurgitant-induced responses in bean plants.
2004
Summary Application of regurgitant from Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say on wound surfaces of one wounded leaf of intact bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plants resulted in activation of ethylene biosynthesis followed by an increase of both peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase activity. The aim of the present investigation was to study the source of increased oxidative enzyme activities in regurgitant-treated bean leaves and to determine if hydrogen peroxide and ethylene biosynthesis is responsible for regurgitant-induced amplification of wound responses in bean plants. As the regurgitant contained relative high activities of both peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, there is a possibility that increa…
