Aspartate kinase and the synthesis of aspartate-derived amino acids in wheat
Planta, 1978 Aspartate kinase (EC 2.7.2.4.) has been purified from 7 day etiolated wheat (Triticum aestivum L. var. Maris Freeman) seedlings and from embryos imbibed for 8 h. The enzyme was 50% inhibited by 0.25 mM lysine. In this study wheat aspartate kinase was not inhibited by threonine alone or cooperatively with lysine; these results contrast with those ...

Aspartate in the Brain: A Review [PDF]
Neurochemical ResearchAbstract l-Aspartate (aspartic acid; C4H7NO4; 2-aminobutanedoic acid) is a non-essential α-amino acid found ubiquitously throughout the body, including in the brain. Aspartate is one of the protein-forming amino acids and the formation of tRNA-aspartate complex is catalysed by aspartyl tRNA synthetase.

Towards the directed evolution of an L-aspartate oxidase from Pseudomonas putida [PDF]
, 2012 Amino acid oxidases (AAOs) are enantioselective flavoenzymes that catalyse the oxidation of amino acids into imino acids, which spontaneously hydrolyse in water to form keto acids. AAOs have several potential applications, most notably as biocatalysts in

l-Aspartate: An Essential Metabolite for Plant Growth and Stress Acclimation
Molecules, 2021 L-aspartate (Asp) serves as a central building block, in addition to being a constituent of proteins, for many metabolic processes in most organisms, such as biosynthesis of other amino acids, nucleotides, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), the ...

Changes in alanine aminotransfearase, aspartate aminotransfearase in blasma, kidney and liver in rabbits treated with cadmium chloride [PDF]
Iraqi Journal of Veterinary Sciences, 2006 The study was designed to investigate the subchronic toxic effect of cadmium chloride administered orally on alanine aminotransfearase (ALT), aspartate aminotransfearase (AST) activity and certain tissues in adult male rabbits.

Mitochondrial redox adaptations enable alternative aspartate synthesis in SDH-deficient cells
eLife, 2023 The oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a central mitochondrial pathway integrating catabolic conversions of NAD +to NADH and anabolic production of aspartate, a key amino acid for cell proliferation.

Amino Acid Oncometabolism and Immunomodulation of the Tumor Microenvironment in Lung Cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2020 The observation that cancer acquires significant changes in its metabolism dates back nearly a century, to Otto Warburg noting that cancer cells preferentially utilize glycolysis even when there are no hypoxic conditions in the growth media.
