Abstract
Objectives were to evaluate the effects of altering timing of initiating and duration of supplementing rumen-protected choline (RPC) on lactation performance in dairy cows. The hypothesis was that RPC increases yields of milk and milk components, regardless of when supplementation is initiated, and that the effects of supplementing RPC starting prepartum and continuing post-transition would be additive. Cows at 241 ± 2.2 d of gestation were blocked by parity group (49 entering lactation 2, 50 entering lactation >2) and 305-d milk yield and, within block, assigned randomly to 1 of 4 treatments arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial with 2 levels of choline in transition, from 21 d pre- to 21 d postpartum, and 2 levels of choline in post-transition, from 22 to 105 d postpartum. The 2 levels of RPC supplemented were either 0 g/d or 12.9 g/d of choline ion fed as 60 g/d of an RPC product that was top-dressed onto the total mixed ration. Thus, treatments were as follows: NN (n = 25): no choline in transition or post-transition; NC (n = 25): no choline in transition and choline in post-transition; CN (n = 25): choline in transition and no choline in post-transition; CC (n = 24): choline in transition and in post-transition. Prepartum, treatments were supplemented (mean ± SD) for the last 18.8 ± 5.7 and 19.2 ± 5.0 d of gestation in treatments with 0 or 12.9 g/d of choline ion, respectively. Supplementing RPC prepartum did not affect dry matter intake (DMI), body weight (BW), or body condition score (BCS) in the last 3 weeks of gestation. Likewise, RPC did not affect the yield or the composition of colostrum. Supplementation with RPC during transition increased fat percent by 0.02 percentage units, fat yield by 0.16 kg/d, and energy-corrected milk (ECM) by 3.1 kg/d in the first 21 d postpartum, and increased fat yield by 0.10 kg/d and ECM by 2.4 kg/d from 22 to 105 d postpartum. Supplementing RPC during transition did not affect DMI postpartum, but it improved feed efficiency, and cows produced 0.11 kg/d more ECM per kg of DMI. Changes in BW and BCS during the first 21 d postpartum did not differ between treatments. Cows fed RPC during transition had more negative net energy balance and 0.1 unit smaller BCS in the first 105 d postpartum than non-supplemented cows. Supplementing RPC in post-transition did not influence productive performance in dairy cows, and choline supplementation during transition or post-transition did not affect measures of reproduction. Collectively, supplementing RPC to supply 12.9 g/d of choline ion benefited productive performance in dairy cows when supplementation occurred during the transition period, but no additional benefit was observed from supplementing RPC past 22 d postpartum.

Abstract
Treatment of murine adult MLE-12 type-II and fetal-rat type-II cells with fetal-rat-fibroblast-conditioned medium (FFCM) resulted in a 2-fold stimulation of [14C]choline incorporation into phosphatidylcholine. Soluble CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) activity was increased approx. 3-fold in FFCM-treated fetal-rat type-II cells but was not changed in MLE-12 cells. Neither choline kinase nor cholinephosphotransferase activities were affected by treatment of MLE-12 cells with FFCM. Long-term labelling of MLE-12 cells with [14C]choline, followed by a 14-18 h chase with FFCM, resulted in a 2.5-fold decrease in [14C]phosphocholine levels relative to controls, suggesting that CT was being activated. In contrast, oleate treatment increased CT activity in the particulate fraction in both cells. Western blots indicate that soluble CT undergoes dephosphorylation in response to FFCM, but no translocation to the particulate fraction was noted. Treatment with oleate stimulated a marked translocation. Tryptic phosphopeptide maps from FFCM-treated cells revealed only minor alterations in the phosphorylation pattern. It is concluded that FFCM and oleate activate CT through different mechanisms. The results are consistent with FFCM activating CT in MLE-12 as well as fetal type-II cells. However, the reason why this activation cannot be detected in vitro is not known.

Abstract
We have shown previously that N-[2-bromocinnamyl(amino)-ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulphonamide (H-89), a selective inhibitor of cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), inhibits phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in HeLa cells. In the present study, we elucidated the mechanism underlying the described inhibition. Treatment of cells with 10 microM H-89 had no effect on the phosphorylation of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase. However, H-89 slightly affected the distribution of cytidylyltransferase between cytosol and membranes, but the cellular 1,2-diacylglycerol content was not influenced. Furthermore, pulse-chase experiments revealed that H-89 did not affect cytidylyltransferase activity. Instead, H-89 inhibited choline kinase, the enzyme catalysing the first step in the CDP-choline pathway. In the presence of 10 microM H-89, choline kinase activity was inhibited by 36 +/- 7.6% in vitro. Additionally, the phosphorylation of choline to phosphocholine was inhibited by 30 +/- 3% in cell-culture experiments. This inhibitory effect could be partly prevented by simultaneous addition of 10 microM forskolin, indicating that choline kinase is regulated in part by PKA activity.

Abstract
A blue-dye column separated rat brain choline kinase (EC 2.7.1.32) into two peaks, very likely corresponding to distinct isozymes. The major-peak enzyme was purified 15,000-fold to homogeneity. The final specific activity was approx. 40 mumol.min-1.mg-1. This is 10-times higher than that reported for the enzymes from lung and kidney. The purified enzyme gave a single 44 kDa protein band on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Analytical gel-filtration showed that the native enzyme had a molecular weight of 90,000 and a Stokes radius of 4.2 nm. The sedimentation coefficient was deduced to be 4.8 S and the molecular weight 87,600 by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. Hence, the native enzyme appears to be a dimer. The apparent Km values for ATP and choline were 1.0 mM and 14 microM, respectively. At high choline concentrations, the enzyme showed deviation from Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The enzyme was active in a high pH range and utilized a variety of amino alcohols structurally related to choline, including ethanolamine, N-methylethanolamine and N,N-dimethylethanolamine as substrates. Spermine and spermidine stimulated the enzyme by decreasing the apparent Km for ATP and increasing Vmax. Although less efficiently, monovalent cations such as NH4+, K+, Li+ and Na+ and quaternary amines such as carpronium, chlorocholine and acetylcholine were also stimulatory.

Abstract
Choline kinase catalyzes the first rate-limiting step in the pathway of biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine. This enzyme was shown previously to be induced in liver by treatment of rats with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Ishidate et al. (1980) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 96, 946-952). The present study was undertaken to determine whether choline kinase in the murine hepatoma cell line, Hepa 1c1c7, is inducible by aromatic hydrocarbons and, if so, whether this induction is mediated by the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor. Treatment of Hepa 1c1c7 cells with 10 microM beta-naphthoflavone resulted in a 1.6-fold increase of choline kinase activity, but no response was seen when the cells were exposed to either 5.0 microM benzo[a]pyrene or 1.0 nM 2.3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-doxin, both potent inducers of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase. Cell line variants with either deficient or elevated aromatic hydrocarbon receptors showed no increase in choline kinase activity following treatment with any of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These results are not consistent with a role for the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor in increased choline kinase activity in Hepa 1c1c7 cells.

Abstract
Changes in the activity of choline kinase were measured in the cerebellum during development. Early transient increase was found in the enzyme activity just prior to and during birth. This period of increase did not coincide with the periods of transient elevation in ornithine decarboxylase and choline acetyltransferase previously observed in the developing cerebellum. The effects of the naturally occurring polyamines (putrescine, spermidine, and spermine) on choline kinase and choline acetyltransferase activities, and of phosphorylcholine (the product of the reaction catalyzed by choline kinase) on ornithine decarboxylase and choline acetyltransferase activities, were also examined. Choline acetyltransferase activity was not influenced by either polyamines or phosphorylcholine. However, choline kinase activity from 7-day-old, but not from adult, cerebellum was increased 25% in the presence of 4 mM spermine. In contrast, low spermidine concentrations (less than 2 mM) inhibited choline kinase activity selectively in 7-day-old cerebellum. Ornithine decarboxylase activity from 7-day-old cerebellum was inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner by phosphorylcholine. The present data together with other previous reports suggest that: (a) polyamines may play a role in choline utilization during development via their regulation of choline kinase activity, on the one hand, and of acetylcholinesterase activity on the other; and (b) during development, a reciprocal regulation of choline kinase and ornithine decarboxylase activities by their respective reaction products may exist, whereby choline kinase activity is regulated in a complex manner by polyamines and, in turn, ornithine decarboxylase is inhibited by phosphorylcholine.

Abstract
Ornithine decarboxylase, which catalyzes the first step in polyamine biosynthesis, is rapidly and transiently increased in various tissues during growth and after various hormonal or noxious stimuli, prior to an elevation in choline kinase activity. Polyamines themselves have been demonstrated to activate choline kinase. The present study sought to determine the effect of phosphorylcholine, the product of the reaction catalyzed by choline kinase, on ornithine decarboxylase activity. The data demonstrate that ornithine decarboxylase activity. The data demonstrate that ornithine decarboxylase activity is inhibited by phosphorylcholine and more potently by the related compound phosphorylethanolamine. The inhibition by both compounds led to decreased affinity of partially purified ornithine decarboxylase for ornithine. The inhibition is not time dependent and reversible. Both compounds also inhibit glutamic acid decarboxylase activity. The results suggest that high intracellular levels of phosphorylethanolamine and phosphorylcholine can serve as natural inhibitors of decarboxylases.

Abstract
A single intraperitoneal dose(1 ml/kg body weight) of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) caused a rapid and drastic induction of choline kinase activity in rat liver cytosol. The administration of either cycloheximide or actinomycin D completely blocked the CCl4-mediated induction of choline kinase activity, indicating that the elevated activity could be due to the change in the enzyme level. The pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital did not cause any significant effect on hepatic choline kinase induction by CCl4, suggesting that the induction may not be directly related to the metabolic rate of CCl4. A considerable part of induced form(s) of choline kinase appeared not to be a form present in the liver of untreated rats. The contribution of adrenals to the CCl4-mediated hepatic choline kinase induction could be ruled out.

Abstract
The activity of choline kinase (CK) was examined in the rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) during development and following postganglionic axotomy. The highest specific enzyme activity (nmol phosphorylcholine/mg protein/h) 52 +/- 8, is observed 5 d before birth, then it rapidly decreases by about 50%, reaching at the day of birth levels observed in the ganglion throughout life. During development the total enzyme activity per ganglion is increased steadily until it reaches a 5-fold increase which parallels the increase in protein content. Following axotomy the enzyme activity per ganglion is rapidly increased by about 2-fold between 1 and 5 d postoperative and then gradually decreases reaching control levels at 30 d. The transient increase in enzyme activity parallels the increase in protein content of the axotomized ganglia. The peak increase in enzyme activity coincides with the peak chromatolytic response of the axotomized ganglion. We conclude that choline kinase activity is transiently increased within neurons after axonal injury, and that this event represents an effort of the nerve cell body to enhance its phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis essential for new membrane synthesis during the regeneration of the cut axon.
