Disease relevance of arginine

 

High impact information on arginine

  • Northern analysis using full-length MCP-1 cDNA demonstrated increased expression in Chol and LNA aortas; this expression was decreased in aortas from Arg animals [5].
  • The objective of this study was to investigate the mechanism of IDV-induced vasoconstriction and the effect that the vasodilator agents L-arginine (LA), nifedipine (NF), as well as magnesium supplementation (Mg), have on IDV-induced nephrotoxicity [6].
  • A close correlation was found between arginin in position 2218 in ISDR, the presence of IL-NS5A Ab, and the response to IFN therapy for genotype 1b, but this association did not predict a long-term response [7].
  • Occurrence of histone H4 arginine (Arg) 3 methylation by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) represents an early promoter event in ER (estrogen receptor)-regulated gene activation [8].
  • The structural information led to a specific data base search from which a new class of OYE oxidoreductases was identified that exhibits a strict conservation of active site residues, which are critical for this subfamily, most notably Cys26, Tyr28, Lys109, and Arg336 [9].
 

Biological context of arginine

 

Anatomical context of arginine

  • Macrophages cultured in Gln-free medium containing Arg (0.6 mM) did not produce NO when stimulated with LPS [4].
  • BACKGROUND: The serine (Ser)-128-arginine (Arg) gene polymorphism of E-selectin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) [15].
  • Strains with requirements for either proline (Pro-) or arginine (Arg-) or for none of the compounds that are used for differentiation (zero phenotype) were more common in the oropharynx (91.3% of patients) than in anogenital sites (73.2% of patients) [16].
 

Associations of arginine with other chemical compounds

  • Morning peak expiratory flow in subjects with the Arg/Arg genotype showed 89.0 +/- 16.1 L/min improvement over baseline compared with 93.7 +/- 12.7 L/min for Gly/Gly subjects and 92.5 +/- 11.9 L/min for Arg/Gly subjects [17].
  • However, both HA and Arg exhibited significant induction on differentiation, as evidenced by increased lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activities, as well as accelerated triacylglycerol (TG) accumulation [18].
  • In contrast, the catalytic efficiency of the CYP2A13 Ala(117) --> Val and His(372) --> Arg mutants was greatly increased (2.65 and 2.60 versus 0.31 for wild-type CYP2A13 protein) [19].
  • We studied lipid metabolism and the antioxidant defense system in plasma and liver of rats fed diets supplemented with L: (omega)-nitro-L: -arginine methyl ester (L: -NAME), isosorbide dinitrate (DIS), L: -arginine (Arg), or the associations of these drugs [20].
  • However, the concentrations of galanin, arginin, vasopressin, and somatostatin were significantly increased [21].
 

Gene context of arginine

  • A conserved arginine in FEN-1 (Arg339) and XPG (Arg992) was found to be crucial for PCNA binding activity [22].
  • Both these responses were, in turn, lower (p < 0.05) than that to ARG + GHRH (57.9 +/- 15.1 micrograms/l; 2483.6 +/- 696.6 micrograms/l/h) [23].
  • A heterozygous single base-pair transition (CTG to CGG, leucine to arginin) was detected in codon 527 of the TGFBI gene in both patients [24].
  • Arg regeneration by AS is rate-limiting to NO synthesis and apparently provides iNOS with a preferred cellular source of Arg [10].
  • Furthermore, a remarkable increase in the expression of the IFN regulating factor 1 (IRF-1), but not of IRF-2, mRNA was detected in AA-treated PM [1].
