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
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
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
A quite important increase of plasma lysine was often reported in different cases of hyperammonemia. This retrospective study of patients with different types of hyperammonemia shows that hyperlysinemia is not automatically associated to hyperammonemia (lysinemia is expressed as the percent of total
Several lines of evidence are presented that an entity is present in mitochondria which converts lysine and carbamylphosphate to homocitrulline, distinct from the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC): lack of inhibition by lysine of OTC with ornithine as substrate at the pH of the mitochondrial matrix,
Accumulation of lysine (Lys) in tissues and biochemical fluids is the biochemical hallmark of patients affected by familial hyperlysinemia (FH) and also by other inherited neurometabolic disorders. In the present study, we investigated the in vitro effect of Lys on various parameters of energy
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
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
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
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
Lysine (Lys) accumulation in tissues and biological fluids is the biochemical hallmark of patients affected by familial hyperlysinemia (FH) and other inherited metabolic disorders. In the present study we investigated the effects of acute administration of Lys on relevant parameters of energy
An 18-year-old mentally and physically retarded boy, suffering from episodes of anorexia, vomiting, coma and convulsion which have been severer with advance in age, had periodic hyperammonemia, hyperlysinemia and homocitrullinuria. Blood cell arginase activity of the patient on normal diet was
The lysine renal tubular transport was studied in a patient with an unusual trait of the membrane transport inborn error characterized by persistent hyperlysinemia with hyperlysinuria. Plasma and urine concentrations of dibasic amino acids were measured basally and at different time intervals after
