(18) Insertion of an 18-nucleotide-long poly(G) tract into the 3'-terminal untranslated region of yeast phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK1) mRNA increases its chemical half-life by about a factor of 2 (P. Vreken, R. Van der Veen, V. C. H. F. de Regt, A. L. de Maat, R. J. Planta, and H. A. Raué, Biochimie 73:729-737, 1991).
(19) Prolactin (PRL) has been reported to stimulate citrate production and the activity of mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAAT) and its precursor form pmAAT in prostate epithelial cells.
(20) The differences in the coenzyme tilt angles between cAAT and mAAT might be linked to catalytic peculiarities of the isoenzymes.
