Abstract
Abstract: The method previously developed for the measurement of rates of methionine incorporation into brain proteins assumed that methionine derived from protein degradation did not recycle into the precursor pool for protein synthesis and that the metabolism of methionine via the transmethylation pathway was negligible. To evaluate the degree of recycling, we have compared, under steady‐state conditions, the specific activity of L‐[35S]methionine in the tRNA‐bound pool to that of plasma. The relative contribution of methionine from protein degradation to the precursor pool was 26%. Under the same conditions, the relative rate of methionine flux into the transmethylation cycle was estimated to be 10% of the rate of methionine incorporation into brain proteins. These results indicate the following: (a) there is significant recycling of unlabeled methionine derived from protein degradation in brain; and (b) the metabolism of methionine is directed mainly towards protein synthesis. At normal plasma amino acid levels, methionine is the amino acid which, to date, presents the lowest degree of dilution in the precursor pool for protein synthesis. L‐[35S]‐Methionine, therefore, presents radiobiochemical properties required to measure, with minimal underestimation, rates of brain protein synthesis in vivo.
