(1) Neurons from rat fetal cerebral hemispheres were grown in a synthetic medium (Maat medium), as previously described, for different periods of time.
(2) Formation of the external aldimine with 2-methylaspartate is accompanied by tilting of the coenzyme ring by 44 degrees in cAAT and 39 degrees in mAAT.
(3) Distributions of the activities of the cytosolic (cAAT) and mitochondrial (mAAT) isoenzymes of aspartate aminotransferase were determined in rat retinal layers.
(4) The distribution of total AAT activity (tAAT = cAAT + mAAT) and of mAAT activity correlated well (r = 0.88-0.91) with the distribution of MDH activity.
(5) These results suggest that testosterone stimulated mAAT activity by induction of pmAAT mRNA.
(6) Phentolamine did not alter the noradrenaline effect on either mAAT or cAAT; it decreased significantly the free form of the mAAT activity only.
(7) This continues to support our proposal that a major physiological effect of testosterone is increased pmAAT mRNA steady-state levels which result in increased pmAAT synthesis and increased mAAT activity.
(8) The pmAAT mRNA induction occurred 30 min after testosterone treatment and was maximal by 1.5 h. Prostatic mAAT activity was also induced by testosterone with a 1-2 h lag period.
(9) Distributions of activity of the cytosolic (cAAT) and mitochondrial (mAAT) isoenzymes of aspartate aminotransferase and of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) were determined in guinea pig retinal layers.
(10) This continues to support our proposal that testosterone regulates prostate citrate production via a stimulatory effect on mAAT which results in increased mitochondrial synthesis of citrate from aspartate.
(11) For the quinonoid complex with erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate, the tilt angles were found to be 63 degrees in cAAT and 53 degrees in mAAT.
(12) The effects of testosterone on mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase (mAAT) synthesis in rat ventral prostate was investigated.
(13) cAAT was highest in the photoreceptor inner segments, inner nuclear layer and inner plexiform layer; mAAT was highest in the inner segments.
(14) cAAT activity was also highest in the inner segments, but the difference between the activity in the inner segments and the other layers was not nearly as great as with mAAT.
(15) Cytosolic and mitochondrial pig aspartate aminotransferases (cAAT and mAAT) and chicken cAAT were oriented in a compressed slab of polyacrylamide gel.
(16) Maat medium improved the purity and longevity of neuronal cultures.
(17) As a result of protonation, the coenzyme tilts by 27 degrees in cAAT and 13 degrees in mAAT.
(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.
