Evidence that Aspartate Aminotransferase Activity and Ketodicarboxylate Carrier Function Are Essential for Biosynthesis of Transmitter Glutamate

Palaiologos, Georgios, Hertz, Left, Schousboe, Arne·1988·Journal of Neurochemistry

Abstract

Based on the selective inhibition of glutamate release in cerebellar granule cells in primary cultures by the aspartate aminotransferase inhibitor, aminooxyacetic acid, and by the ketodicarboxylate carrier inhibitor, phenylsuccinate, a novel model for synthesis of transmitter glutamate is suggested: Glutamate is formed from glutamine in the mitochondrial intramembrane space by phosphate‐activated glutaminase, transported across the inner membrane in exchange with aspartate, transaminated in the matrix to a‐ketoglutarate, which via the ketodicarboxylate carrier is transferred to the cytoplasm, and transaminated to form transmitter glutamate. Such a mechanism would explain the functional role of aspartate aminotransferase in glutamatergic neurons.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
