AbstractThe fundamental Embden–Meyerhoff–Paranas (EMP) pathway for sugar catabolism, anabolism, and energy metabolism has been reconstituted with non-oxidative glycolysis (NOG). Although carbon conservation was achieved via NOG, the energy metabolism was significantly limited. Herein, we showed the construction of a hybrid EMP that replaced the first phase of the EMP in Corynebacterium glutamicum with NOG and revealed a metabolic link of carbon and phosphorus metabolism. In accordance with synthetic glucose kinase activity and phosphoketolase on the hybrid EMP, cell growth was completely recovered in the C. glutamicum pfkA mutant strain where the first phase of EMP was eliminated. Notably, we have revealed a phosphate-replenishing pathway that involved trehalose biosynthesis for the generation of inorganic phosphate (Pi) sources in the hybrid EMP when external Pi supply was limited. Thus, the re-designed hybrid EMP pathway with balanced carbon and phosphorus states provides an efficient microbial platform for biochemical production.

Abstract 1. Phosphate exchange in red cells and plasma was studied in vitro using P32 in the form of sodium phosphate as a tracer. 2. No phosphate was added other than the isotopic preparation which was of high specific activity. 3. Inorganic phosphate exchanged freely between the plasma and the erythrocytes at 37.5 C. in a period of four hours. Minimal transfer occurred at 7 C. 4. Most of the added P32 which passed into the erythrocytes during this time remained in the inorganic fraction, less than 15 per cent being found in the organic acid soluble fraction. 5. The specific activity of the inorganic phosphate of the erythrocytes was equal to or greater than that obtaining for the inorganic phosphate of the plasma at the end of the four hour incubation period at 37.5 C.

Although decreased CBF has now been reported during the prodrome of migraine, the cause of the decreased flow is still unknown. It is particularly unclear whether these phenomena are related to vasospasm and “steal” between the extracranial and intracranial circulation or to the spreading depression of Leao and the accompanying metabolic depression. In the present paper, metabolic changes in the brain during ischemia and reperfusion are reviewed and compared with CNS biochemical changes during migraine attack. In addition, the technique of Topical Magnetic Resonance (TMR) as applied to the in vivo study of energy phosphate metabolism in extracranial tissues and brain is described and the potential of this technique to evaluate shifts in energy metabolism and pH in stroke and migraine is discussed.

The specific activity of the liver RNA nucleotide phosphorus, relative to the specific activity of the liver inorganic phosphate, was determined in the rat, 16 hr. after an intraperitoneal injection of radioactive inorganic phosphate. The nucleotides were isolated by ionophoresis on paper strips.Hypophysectomy caused a decrease in the relative specific activity of each of the four RNA nucleotides. The administration of ACTH caused an increase in the incorporation of P32 into each of the RNA nucleotides of the liver of hypophysectomized animals, but it caused a small and statistically significant decrease in normal animals. Adrenalectomy, either in normal or in hypophysectomized rats, did not affect the P32 incorporation, nor did the administration of ACTH in the absence of the adrenal glands.It is concluded that ACTH can affect the incorporation of P32 into the RNA of the liver and that this effect is due to the action of the hormone on the adrenal cortex. However, other factors also must be operative, since removal of the adrenal glands does not cause the decrease in the P32 incorporation observed after removal of the pituitary.
