Coordinate synthesis of heme and apoenzyme in the formation of tryptophan pyrrolase.

Reciprocal control mechanisms between hemoprotein and 8-aminolevulinic acid synthetase take part in coordinate synthesis of the heme and apoenzyme moieties of tryptophan pyrrolase. Stimulation of heme biosynthesis increases tryptophan pyrrolase, whereas enhancement of heme binding by apotryptophan pyrrolase secondarily increases the formation of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme in heme formation. Tryptophan-mediated induction of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase suggests that heme participates in repression of that enzyme

Cardiac transplantation: a review for the intensivists.

Cardiac transplantation has now become accepted therapy for the treatment of end-stage heart disease in both children and adults, and literally thousands of patients are bearers of cardiac grafts. Because of these patients' susceptibility to infections, rejection, coronary disease, and malignancy, as well as to serious illnesses unrelated to their transplantation, they will often be encountered at hospital centers both close to their homes and distant from the site of their surgery. The intensive care unit physician's role will be a demanding one when caring for these patients because of the broad differential diagnosis of infections, frequency of drug interactions and altered immunosuppression, and continuous uncertainty regarding the possibility of rejection, particularly during the first year after transplantation.
