Glutamate synthesis and

In the following sections, I will first review the distribution of glutaminase in the brain, then describe glutamate synthesis and metabolism in glial cells, and finally discuss the role of glutamate and AAT in GABAergic neurons.

Figure 3. Time course of oligo(y-ethyTL-glutamate) synthesis and change in pH during oligo(y-ethyl L-glutamate) synthesis for the control (0.9M) and reactions in 0.5, 0.9 and 1.3Mphosphate buffer. Synthesis was performed at 40 °C in 0.9M phosphate buffer at pH 7 under non-controlled pH conditions. Values reported are the mean from at least duplicate experiments and error bars define the maximum and minimum values obtained. (Reproduced from reference 22.

In R. leguminosarum there is a link between amino acid metabolism and PHB formation. Glutamate synthesis and secretion appears to be important to balance carbon and reducing equivalents, especially in the absence of a functional TCA cycle or PHB formation .

The fish results were in contrast to those of the chick. In the hybrid striped bass (20% dietary dextrin), glucose contributed to only 1 to 6% of aspartate and glutamate synthesis, and there was no synthesis of proline from glucose carbotL Even though as much as 30% of these AA derived from dietary protein, most (64%) of the supply of carbon skeletons for synthesis of these AA derived from other AA, primarily those entering the Krebs cycle prior to oxaloacetate.
