ABSTRACT Incubation of 17α-methyl-19-nortestosterone-3H with female rat liver homogenate resulted in the formation of 17α-methyl-19-norandrostan-17β-ol-3-one-3H and 17α-methyl-19-norandrostane-3α,17β-diol-3H.

Free loosely bound and tightly bound polyribosomes were separated from rat liver homogenate by salt extraction followed by differential centrifugation, and several of their structural and functional properties were compared to resolve the existence of loosely bound polyribosomes and verify the specificity of the separation. The free and loosely bound polyribosomes have similar sedimentation profiles and polyribosome contents, their subunit proteins have similar electrophoretic patterns and their products of protein synthesis in vitro show a close correspondence in size and amounts synthesized. In contrast, the tightly bound polyribosomes have different properties from those of the free and loosely bound polyribosomes; their average size is significantly smaller; their polyribosome content is higher; their 60 S-subunit proteins lack two components and contain four or more components not found elsewhere; their products of protein synthesis in vitro differ in size and amounts synthesized. These observations show that rat liver membranes entrap a large fraction of the free polyribosomes at low salt concentrations and that these polyribosomes are similar to those of the free-polyribosome fraction and are different from those of the tightly bound polyribosome fraction in size, structure and function.

The role of N-carbamyl, N-acetyl, and L-glutamic acids with and without fumaric acid on the "in vitro" synthesis of citrulline was studied by using a particulate fraction obtained from a rat liver homogenate and a partially purified citrulline-synthesizing enzyme system. In the presence of a particulate fraction of rat liver homogenate, N-carbamyl and N-acetyl-L-glutamic acids are unable to replace L-glutamic acid, which is essential for citrulline biosynthesis. However, in the presence of fumaric acid, they both give a better synthesis of citrulline than L-glutamic acid alone. It is postulated that the acyl derivatives serve only in the transport of "activated CO2" whereas fumaric acid enters the citric acid to furnish the essential ATP molecules. Glutamic acid would be able to perform both functions. However, in the presence of a system containing partially purified citrulline-synthesizing enzymes, L-glutamic acid is unable to replace N-carbamyl and N-acetyl-L-glutamic acids with or without fumaric acid. In such a system, L-glutamic acid cannot serve in the transport of "activated CO2". It is postulated that L-glutamic acid must be acetylated prior to its utilization in this respect.With the particulate fraction of rat liver homogenate, N-allyl aspartic acid inhibits totally the synthesis of citrulline both in the presence and absence of fumaric acid with or without glutamic or N-acetyl glutamic acids. It probably interferes with the transport of "activated CO2".

The effect of prolonged feeding (3–5 months) of pemmican on some aspects of the in vitro metabolism of liver tissue was investigated. The endogenous metabolism of liver slices and homogenates was significantly increased by pemmican, probably due to an increase in the amount of readily metabolizable substrate. Utilizing mitochondrial preparations, it was found that with all substrates studied, except glutamate, α-ketoglutarate and succinate, the respiratory rate was not affected by the previous diet in the absence of added cytochrome c and diphosphopyridine nucleotide. The three substrates mentioned were oxidized at significantly lower rates in the pemmican group. Upon the addition of cytochrome c and diphosphopyridine nucleotide the qo2 of glutamate, α-ketoglutarate, and succinate was returned to the normal value.
