Abstract:
Soluble organic nitrogen, including protein and amino acids, was found to be a ubiquitous form of soil N in diverse Australian environments. Fine roots of species representative of these environments were found to be active in the metabolism of glycine. The ability to incorporate [15N]glycine was widespread among plant species from subantarctic to tropical communities. In species from subantarctic herbfield, subtropical coral cay, subtropical rainforest and wet heathland, [15N]glycine incorporation ranged from 26 to 45 % of 15NH4+ incorporation and was 2- to 3-fold greater than 15NO3- incorpor

Abstract:
The activation of de novo serine/glycine biosynthesis in a subset of tumors has been described as a major contributor to tumor pathogenesis, poor outcome, and treatment resistance.

A better understanding of the regulatory network of de novo serine/glycine biosynthesis activation in cancer might be essential to unveil opportunities to target tumo

The removal of the 1-carbon of threonine can occur via threonine dehydrogenase or threonine aldolase, this carbon ending up in glycine to be liberated by the mitochondrial glycine cleavage system and producing CO2. Alternatively, in the threonine dehydratase pathway, the 1-carbon ends up in α-ketobutyrate, which is oxidized in the mitochondria to CO2. Rat hepatocytes, incubated in Krebs-Henseleit medium, were incubated with 0.5 mMl-[1-14C]threonine, and14CO2 production was measured. Added glycine (0.3 mM) marginally suppressed threonine oxidation.

Glycine is the proteinogenic amino-acid of lowest molecular weight, harboring a hydrogen atom as a side-chain.

Although generally viewed as a non-essential amino-acid, because it can be endogenously synthesized to a certain extent, glycine has also been suggested as a conditionally essential amino acid.

Abstract:
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) and NRPS-like enzymes have diverse functions in primary and secondary metabolisms. By using a structure-guided approach, we uncovered the function of a NRPS-like enzyme with unusual domain architecture, catalyzing two sequential two-electron reductions of glycine betaine to choline. Structural analysis based on the homology model suggests cation-π interactions as the major substrate specificity determinant, which was verified using substrate analogs and inhibitors. Bioinformatic analysis indicates this NRPS-like glycine betaine reductase is highly conse

Abstract:
In the first of two sets of experiments, the lumen-to-cell and cell-to-bath transport rates for glycine were measured in the isolated-perfused medullary pars recta (S3 cells) of the rabbit proximal tubule at multiple luminal glycine concentrations (0–2.0 mM). The lumen-to-cell transport of glycine was saturated, which permitted the calculation of the transport maximum of disappearance rate of glycine from the lumen (pmol · min−1 · mm tubular length−1), K m (mM), and paracellular leak (pmol · min−1 · mm tubular length−1 · mM−1) values for this transport mechanism; these values were 4.3, 0.3, an

Abstract:
We studied the effect of salinity on amino acid, proline and glycine betaine accumulation in leaves of different stages of development in durum wheat under high and low nitrogen supply. Our results suggest that protective compounds against salt stress are accumulated in all leaves. The major metabolites are glycine betaine, which preferentially accumulates in younger tissues, and proline, which is found predominantly in older tissues. Proline tended to accumulate early, at the onset of the stress, while glycine betaine accumulation was observed during prolonged stress. Nitrate reductase (NR) a

Among these metabolic alterations, amino acid metabolism particularly that of serine, glycine, and glutamine plays a central role in supporting tumor growth and progression.

Serine plays an important role in intermediary metabolism as a source of one carbon pool for nucleotide biosynthesis, as a precursor for glycine and glucose, and as a contributor to cysteine biosynthesis. A unique serine-glycine cycling between the liver and the placenta has been demonstrated in the sheep fetus. We hypothesized that, because of serine's role in growth and development, significant changes in serine metabolism will occur in pregnancy with advancing gestation.

Accelerating healing is a clinical goal in both acute and chronic non-healing skin wounds.

The database was reduced to a set of 357 reactions and 339 metabolites that were better suited for human cells in culture.

Abstract Energy and nutrient sources for life could be delivered to Titan’s subsurface water ocean from both its surface above and its core below. Organic matter forming de novo in Titan’s atmosphere and depositing on the surface may hydrolyze upon descent into the ocean with impact-generated melt pools sinking through the ice, adding to a primordial inventory released by the core during differentiation and/or across geologic time. This raises the possibility that abiotic organic carbon could fuel heterotrophic carbon assimilation into biomass in Titan’s ocean if it is inhabited. Glycine ferme

Glycine is metabolized in isolated renal cortical tubules to stochiometric qualities of ammonia, CO2 and serine by the combined actions of the glycine-cleavage-enzyme complex and serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The rate of renal glycine metabolism by this route is increased in tubules from acidotic rats, but is not affected in vitro by decreasing the incubation pH from 7.4 to 7.1. Metabolic acidosis caused an increase in the renal activity of the glycine-cleavage-enzyme complex, but there were no changes in the activity of serine hydroxymethyltransferase or of methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydr

In addition to being involved in protein biosynthesis and metabolism, the amino acid glycine is the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in caudal regions of the brain. These functions require a tight regulation of glycine concentration not only in the synaptic cleft, but also in various intracellular and extracellular compartments. This is achieved not only by confining the synthesis and degradation of glycine predominantly to the mitochondria, but also by the action of high-affinity large-capacity glycine transporters that mediate the transport of glycine across the membranes of presyn
