Genome-wide association studies reveal the genetic basis of amino acid content variation in tea plants

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Tea is one of the most popular non-alcoholic beverages in the world, and free amino acids, especially theanine, make a major contribution to the umami taste of tea.

Branch chain amino acid and melanogenesis [PDF]

Immunopharmacology and Immunotoxicology, 2011
Sir, the recent publication on branch chain amino acid (BCAA) and melanogenesis is very interesting. Cha et al. report that “a complex of BCAAs inhibited melanin production without changes in intercellular tyrosinase activity,” and they propose further that “the complex of BCAAs may be used in the development of safe potential depigmenting agents ...

Branched-Chain Amino Acids and Immunity , [PDF]

The Journal of Nutrition, 2006
Although there has been great interest in the effects of amino acids on immune function, little is known about the impact of changes in BCAA availability on the ability of the immune system to function. Human immune cells incorporate BCAA into proteins and are able to oxidize BCAA.

Role of symbiotic auxotrophy in the Rhizobium-legume symbioses.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundRhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae mutants unable to transport branched-chain amino acids via the two main amino acid ABC transport complexes AapJQMP and BraDEFGC produce a nitrogen starvation phenotype when inoculated on pea (Pisum sativum ...

Disorders of branched chain amino acid metabolism

Translational Science of Rare Diseases, 2016
The three essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine and valine, share the first enzymatic steps in their metabolic pathways, including a reversible transamination followed by an irreversible oxidative decarboxylation to coenzyme-A derivatives.

Amino acid accumulation limits the overexpression of proteins in Lactococcus lactis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Understanding the biogenesis pathways for the functional expression of recombinant proteins, in particular membrane proteins and complex multidomain assemblies, is a fundamental issue in cell biology and of high importance for future progress

Norvaline is accumulated after a down-shift of oxygen in Escherichia coli W3110

Microbial Cell Factories, 2008
Background Norvaline is an unusual non-proteinogenic branched-chain amino acid which has been of interest especially during the early enzymological studies on regulatory mutants of the branched-chain amino acid pathway in Serratia marcescens.

Interactions of the branched-chain amino acids. 1. Influence of dietary isoleucine and leucine on the valine requirement of male Cobb MV × 500 broilers for a 29- to 42-day finisher period

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2022
SUMMARY: Branched-chain amino acid requirements have traditionally been determined using dose-response titrations without accounting for the influence of branched-chain amino acid antagonism.

BCKDK of BCAA Catabolism Cross-talking With the MAPK Pathway Promotes Tumorigenesis of Colorectal Cancer

EBioMedicine, 2017
Branched-chain amino acids catabolism plays an important role in human cancers. Colorectal cancer is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in males and the second in females, and the new global incidence is over 1.2 million cases. The branched-chain α-
