Familial hyperlysinemias. Purification and characterization of the bifunctional aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase with lysine-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase activities.

Only registered users can translate articles

Familial hyperlysinemias are autosomal recessive disorders in the oxidative degradation of lysine. Hyperlysinemia type I is associated with a combined deficiency in lysine-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase activities, the first two sequential steps in the lysine degradative

Hyperlysinemia with saccharopinuria due to combined lysine-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase deficiencies presenting as cystinuria.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 7-year-old boy with speech delay, hyperactive behavior, and minor neurologic abnormalities had been found in the past to have "intermittent cystinuria." A more detailed investigation revealed hyperlysinemia and hyperlysinuria, with lesser increases in urinary excretion of arginine and cystine. The

Familial hyperlysinemia with lysine-ketoglutarate reductase insufficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fibroblasts grown in tissue culture from the skin of normal subjects have lysine-ketoglutarate reductase activity (lysine: alpha-ketoglutarate: triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPNH) oxidoreductase (epsilon-N-[L-glutaryl-2]-L-lysine forming)). The activity of the enzyme is considerably reduced in the

Mitochondrial NADP(H) deficiency due to a mutation in NADK2 causes dienoyl-CoA reductase deficiency with hyperlysinemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Dienoyl-CoA reductase (DECR) deficiency with hyperlysinemia is a rare disorder affecting the metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lysine. The molecular basis of this condition is currently unknown. We describe a new case with failure to thrive, developmental delay, lactic acidosis and

The prognosis of hyperlysinemia: an interim report.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ten patients with familial hyperlysinemia with lysine-ketoglutarate reductase deficiency, identified through newborn screening programs or family surveys, were selected for review. Ages ranged from 2 to 24 years when last examined. A low-protein diet had been administered to two patients, which

Propionic acidemia and hyperlysinemia in a case with ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

A female infant with episodic hyperammonemia due to a disorder of the urea cycle and who had hyperlysinemia and an unusual elevation of short chain fatty acids, mainly propionate, is described. Both occurred apparently only during attacks of hyperammonemia. Propionic acidemia was ruled out by enzyme

2,4-Dienoyl-coenzyme A reductase deficiency: a possible new disorder of fatty acid oxidation.

Only registered users can translate articles

Several inherited disorders of fatty acid beta-oxidation have been described that relate mainly to saturated precursors. This study is the first report of an enzyme defect related only to unsaturated fatty acid oxidation and provides the first in vivo evidence that fat oxidation in humans proceeds

Familial hyperlysinemia: enzyme studies, diagnostic methods, comments on terminology.

Only registered users can translate articles

Enzyme assays of skin fibroblasts from five children with familial hyperlysinemia from unrelated families are added to the previous report of three children from two unrelated families. In all instances there was a deficiency in lysine-ketoglutarate reductase, saccharopine dehydrogenase, and

Hyperlysinemia without clinical findings.

Only registered users can translate articles

A three-year-old asymptomatic boy with hyperlysinemia is presented. The patient's plasma lysine levels have been constantly high (685-1370 mumol/l) and excessive urinary excretion of ornithine, arginine and cystine have been noted. There was no detectable activity of lysine-ketoglutarate reductase

Identification of the alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde synthase gene, which is defective in familial hyperlysinemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

The first two steps in the mammalian lysine-degradation pathway are catalyzed by lysine-ketoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase, respectively, resulting in the conversion of lysine to alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde. Defects in one or both of these activities result in familial

Multiple enzyme defects in familial hyperlysinemia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Lysine-ketoglutarate reductase (EC. 1.5.1.8) deficiency in skin fibroblasts has been previously reported in patients with familial hyperlysinemia, providing an adequate explanation for the biochemical derangements noted clinically. In the present study, analysis of liver obtained at autopsy from a

Effects of supersuppressor genes on enzymes controlling lysine biosynthesis in Saccharomyces.

Only registered users can translate articles

Yeast supersuppressor genes capable of masking the effects of several lysine mutant genes (ly(1-1), ly(9-1), ly(2-1)) were studied with respect to their effects on the respective enzymes (saccharopine dehydrogenase, saccharopine reductase, and alpha-amino-adipic acid reductase). In all strains

Clinical heterogeneity of mitochondrial NAD kinase deficiency caused by a NADK2 start loss variant.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mitochondrial NAD kinase deficiency (NADK2D, OMIM #615787) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of NADPH biosynthesis that can cause hyperlysinemia and dienoyl-CoA reductase deficiency (DECRD, OMIM #616034). NADK2 deficiency has been reported in only three unrelated patients. Two had severe,

Alpha-aminoadipate delta-semialdehyde synthase mRNA knockdown reduces the lysine requirement of a mouse hepatic cell line.

Only registered users can translate articles

Alpha-aminoadipate delta-semialdehyde synthase (AASS) is the bifunctional enzyme containing the lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase (LKR) and saccharopine dehydrogenase activities responsible for the first 2 steps in the irreversible catabolism of lysine. A rare disease in humans, familial

Pipecolic acid induces oxidative stress in vitro in cerebral cortex of young rats and the protective role of lipoic acid.

Only registered users can translate articles

Pipecolic acid (PA) levels are increased in severe metabolic disorders of the central nervous system such as Zellweger syndrome, infantile Refsum disease, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and hyperlysinemia. The affected individuals present progressive neurological dysfunction, hypotonia and growth
