Abstract:
:A serious limitation to the use of N(O,S)-heptafluorobutyryl isobutyl amino acid derivatives in the analysis of (15)N-labeling kinetics of amino acids in plant tissues, is that the amides glutamine and asparagine undergo acid hydrolysis to glutamate and aspartate, respectively, during derivatization. This led us to consider an alternative procedure (G Fortier et al. [1986] J Chromatogr 361: 253-261) for derivatization of glutamine and asparagine with N-methyl-N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-trifluoroacetamide in pyridine. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (electron ionization) yielded fragment ions (M-57) of mass 417 and 431 for the [(14)N]asparagine and [(14)N]glutamine derivatives, respectively, suitable for monitoring unlabeled, single-(15)N- and double-(15)N-labeled amide species from the ion clusters at mass to charge ratio (m/z) 415 to 423 for asparagine, and m/z 429 to 437 for glutamine. From separate analyses of the specific isotope abundance of the amino-N groups of asparagine and glutamine as their N-heptafluorobutyryl isobutyl derivatives, the specific amide-[(15)N] abundance of these amino acids was determined. We demonstrate that this approach to (15)N analysis of the amides can yield unique insights as to the compartmentation of asparagine and glutamine in vivo. The ratios of unlabeled:single-(15)N:double-(15)N-labeled species are highly diagnostic of the relative sizes and turnover of metabolically active and inactive pools of the amides and their precursors. Kinetic evidence is presented to indicate that a significant proportion (approximately 10%) of the free asparagine pool may be metabolically inactive (vacuolar). If the amide group of asparagine is derived exclusively from glutamine-amide, then asparagine must be synthesized in a compartment of the cell in which both glutamine-amide and aspartate are more heavily labeled with (15)N than the bulk pools of these amino acids. This compartment is presumably the chloroplast. The transaminase inhibitor aminooxyacetate is shown to markedly inhibit amino acid synthesis; several amino acid pools accumulated in the presence of aminooxyacetate and [(15)N]H(4) (+) are (14)N-enriched and must be derived primarily from protein turnover.
