Disease relevance of arginine

  • The E. coli dnaY gene encodes an arginine transfer RNA [1].
  • We treated 10 patients with severe beta-thalassemia or sickle cell disease with arginine butyrate at an initial dose of 500 mg per kilogram of body weight per day (final dose, 2000 mg per kilogram per day), 6 days per week, for a mean (+/- SD) of 10 +/- 1.2 weeks (range, 9 to 13) [2].
  • Islet function was assessed by measuring the plasma insulin responses to intravenous glucose and arginine and the plasma glucagon responses to hypoglycemia and arginine [3].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension have low plasma concentrations of arginine and nitric oxide metabolites [4].
  • Effect of L-arginine on plasminogen-activator inhibitor in hypertensive patients with hypercholesterolemia [5].
  • Parenteral L-arginine monotherapy was markedly harmful in animals with septic shock [6].
  • This suggests that L-arginine can block the formation and development of colorectal tumors, and this effect might be related to the increased serum NO concentration and decreased ODC activity [7].
  • It details the processes by which intracellular and extracellular levels of l-arginine may influence nitric oxide production and further documents the imbalance that is evident in various cardiovascular disease states [8].
  • Potential mechanisms for beneficial effects of exogenous arginine in sepsis include enhanced (protein) metabolism, improved microcirculation and organ function, effects on immune function and antibacterial effects, improved gut function, and an antioxidant role of arginine [9].
  • While caution in the face of a lack of evidence for benefit in sepsis is commended, well-defined studies examining arginine monotherapy in the context of full nutritional support should be carried out so as to define the possible clinical uses of arginine in critically ill and septic patients [10].

Gene context of arginine

  • Here we demonstrate arginine methylation of STAT1 by the protein arginine methyl-transferase PRMT1 as a novel requirement for IFNalpha/beta-induced transcription [39].
  • The results show that the leader peptide, the product of the upstream open reading frame, plays an essential, negative role in the specific repression of CPA1 by arginine [40].
  • Arginine methylation of STAT1 modulates IFNalpha/beta-induced transcription [39].
  • This inhibition arises from impaired STAT1-DNA binding due to an increased association of the STAT inhibitor PIAS1 with phosphorylated STAT1 dimers in the absence of arginine methylation [39].
  • The ARFGAP molecule binds to switch 2 and helix alpha3 to orient ARF1 residues for catalysis, but it supplies neither arginine nor other amino acid side chains to the GTPase active site [41].
  • Deletion of GCN4 (gcn4-Delta), in combination with btn1-Delta, results in a very specific growth requirement for arginine [42].
  • PRMT1 also does not prefer substrates already containing one or more singly or doubly methylated arginine residues [43].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of arginine

  • Deletion of arginine 156 resulted in a peptide that was shown to be greatly superior in both dose response titrations and in its rate of association with cells to form targets [44].
  • Surprisingly, OAT-deficient mice produced by gene targeting exhibit neonatal hypoornithinaemia and lethality, rescuable by short-term arginine supplementation [45].
  • Using genome-wide linkage mapping and a positional candidate approach in a Saudi Arabian family affected with autosomal recessive SCAN1, we identified a homozygous mutation in TDP1 (A1478G) that results in the substitution of histidine 493 with an arginine residue [26].
  • Site-directed mutagenesis reveals role of mobile arginine residue in lactate dehydrogenase catalysis [46].
  • During a 30-minute period of perfusion with glucose and arginine, pancreases from vitamin D-deficient rats exhibited a 48 percent reduction in insulin secretion compared to that for pancreases from vitamin D-deficient rats that had been replenished with vitamin D. Vitamin D status had no effect on pancreatic glucagon secretion [47].
