An enzyme, transferring the acetyl group of N-α-acetylornithine to the amino group of glutamate, has been demonstrated for Saccharomyces cerevisiae. On the other hand, the enzymic reduction of N-α-acetylglutamate with the formation of N-α-acetyl-glutamic-γ-semialdehyde has been reported previously. The absence of transacetylase in an arginine-requiring mutant (gene ar7) as well as the above findings prove that:
1.
1. The biosynthesis of ornithine, in yeast, proceeds through acetylated intermediates.
2.
2. The transacetylase is the only functional pathway for the conversion of N-α-acetylornithine to ornithine, in spite of the simultaneous presence of an N-α-acetylornithinase (N-α-acetylornithine amidohydrolase).
At least two steps in the biosynthesis of ornithine are repressible by arginine.

1. An enzyme which catalyses the transamination between γ-hydroxyglutamate and α-ketoglutarate was extracted from rat-liver acetone powder and purified in excess of 15-fold. Fractionation of the enzyme from a separate aspartate transaminase (L-aspartate: 2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, EC 2.6.1.1) remained incomplete.
2.
2. [2-14C]Pyruvate was incorporated into γ-hydroxy-α-ketoglutarate and γ-hydroxyglutamate in the presence of glyoxylate in rat-liver homogenate. Specific activity values of these three compounds indicated the occurence of the following pathway: Pyruvate + glyoxylate ⇌ γ-hydroxy-α-ketoglutarate ⇌ γ-hydroxyglutamate.
3.
3. A further possible pathway of γ-hydroxy-α-ketoglutarate metabolism leading to malate and of γ-hydroxyglutamate to its decarboxylation product or to L-hydroxyproline were inferred and discussed.
