    Notes: Abstract The enzymatic mechanism and the kinetic parameters of GABA-transaminase extracted from cultured mouse cerebral cortex neurons and astrocytes were studied. Neuronal as well as astrocytic GABA-transaminase obeyed a bi bi ping-pong reaction mechanism. The estimated Km-values for α-ketoglutarate and GABA were significantly lower for astroglial GABA-transaminase compared to the neuronal enzyme suggesting a possible existence of cell specific isozymes of GABA-transaminase. The observed enzymatic mechanism and the magnitude of the estimated kinetic parameters imply that GABA-transaminase synthesized in the two types of cultured neural cells is mechanistically and kinetically equivalent to the enzyme synthesized in the brainin vivo.

    Notes: Abstract Phosphate activated glutaminase comprises two kinetically distinguishable enzyme forms in cultures of cerebellar granule cells, of cortical neurons and of astrocytes. Specific activity of glutaminase is higher in cultured neurons compared with astrocytes. Glutaminase is activated by phosphate in all cell types investigated, however, glutaminase in astrocytes reguires a much higher concentration of phosphate for half maximal activation. One of the products, glutamate, inhibits the enzyme strongly, whereas the other product ammonia has only a slight inhibitory action on the enzyme.
