relationship between levels of cAMP and catabolite repression in yeasts has been investigated. Strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Kluyveromyces fragilis were used. The yeasts were grown on different carbon sources to attain various degrees of repression. Galactose repressed as much as glucose, while maltose was less effective. Full derepression was achieved with ethanol. The enzymes tested were fructose-bisphosphatase, malate dehydrogenase, glutamate dehydrogenase (NAD dependent), cytochrome oxidase and isocitrate lyase (this last enzyme was found to be absent in Schizosaccharomyces). The levels of cAMP were 2-3 times higher in the repressed conditions than in the derepressed ones. It is therefore concluded that in yeasts catabolite repression is not mediated by a lowering of the intracellular concentration of cAMP.

Strictly carnivorous fish with high requirements for dietary protein, such as rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are interesting models for studying the role of amino acids as key regulators of intermediary metabolism. Methionine is an essential amino acid for rainbow trout, and works as a signalling factor in different metabolic pathways. The study investigated the effect of increasing dietary methionine intake on the intermediary metabolism in the liver of juvenile rainbow trout. For this purpose, five diets were formulated with increasing methionine levels from 0.60 to 1.29% dry matter. The diets were fed in excess for six weeks before three sampling campaigns carried out successively to elucidate (i) the hepatic expression of selected genes involved in lipid, glucose and amino acid metabolism; (ii) the postprandial ammonia excretion; and (iii) the postprandial plasma methionine concentrations. The transcript levels of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism (fatty acid synthase, glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase and carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1 a), gluconeogenesis (fructose-1,6-biphosphatase) and amino acid catabolism (alanine amino transferase and glutamate dehydrogenase) were significantly affected by the increase in dietary methionine. Changes in gene expression reflected to some extent the decrease in ammonia excretion (P=0.022) and in the hepatosomatic index (HSI; P<0.001) when dietary methionine increased. Postprandial plasma methionine concentrations correlated positively with the dietary level (P<0.001) at the different sampling points. The study shows that the expression of several genes related to the hepatic intermediary metabolism in rainbow trout responded in a dose-dependent manner to increasing levels of dietary methionine.
