TL;DR
In this in vitro experimental system, both the transport and processing of the enzyme were significantly inhibited by the addition of hemin as low as about 3 microM, providing further support to the view that inhibition by hemin of the translocation of delta-aminolevulinate synthase into mitochondria could be one of the regulatory mechanisms for heme biosynthesis in the liver cells.
Abstract
The precursor form of chicken liver delta-aminolevulinate synthase was synthesized in a reticulocyte lysate cell-free translation system and then incubated with the homologous liver mitochondria. The precursor enzyme was incorporated into the mitochondria with an attendant processing to the mature enzyme. In this in vitro experimental system, both the transport and processing of the enzyme were significantly inhibited by the addition of hemin as low as about 3 microM. This provides further support to the view, which had been derived from the studies in vivo, that inhibition by hemin of the translocation of delta-aminolevulinate synthase into mitochondria could be one of the regulatory mechanisms for heme biosynthesis in the liver cells.

An investigation of the biochemical changes following experimental liver injury felt the need of a simple, rapid, and accurate method for determining the protein fractions in small amounts of serum and began with Kingsley’s biuret procedure.

The interaction of haemin with human serum albumin has been reexamined, and it is suggested, on the basis of an interaction of albumin with iron-free protoporphyrin IX, that the iron is not implicated in the interaction with the protein.

It is concluded that a membrane potential is involved in the import of those mitochondrial precursor proteins which require energy for intracellular translocation.

It was assumed that hemin controls the level of ALA synthetase in liver mitochondria firstly by suppressing the initiation of induction of AlA Synthetase and secondly by inhibiting the conversion of the “soluble form” ofALA synthenase into the ”mitochondrial” ALA syntheticase.

Experiments with inhibitors of protein synthesis are consistent with a translational site for heme repression, and a mechanism whereby drugs may induce δ-aminolevulinic acid synthetase by interfering with heme synthesis is demonstrated.

Intravenous administration of various doses of hemin to allylisopropylacetamide-pretreated rats resulted in a dose-dependent and time-dependent decrease of the ability of liver polysomes to direct the synthesis of δ-aminolevulinate synthase in vitro in a reticulocyte lysate system.

In AIA-untreated normal animals, the administration of similar doses of hemin inhibited not only intracellular translocation but also synthesis of ALA synthase, and the extent of the inhibition of synthesis was also closely related to the degree of heme saturation of tryptophan pyrrolase.

The results suggest that haemin represses the synthesis of delta-aminolaevulinate synthase by decreasing the amount of mRNA for the enzyme available for translation, which is similar to that previously measured in vivo.

Exogenously added haemin was shown completely to inhibit 2-allyl-2-isopropylacetamide-mediated delta-aminolaevulinate synthase induction at concentrations as low as 20nm, a value that is less than the reported physiological one, and suggests that the primary effect of haemin is at the level of transcription.

It is concluded that the 74,000 molecular weight protein is a precursor which is processed during transport into the mitochondria, and in vivo labelling experiments are consistent with this conclusion.

It was concluded that hemin actually inhibits the translocation of ALA synthase from the cytosol into the mitochondria and that hemine also inhibits de novo synthesis of AL a synthase, possibly at a post-transcriptional level in DDC-treated rats.
