Disease relevance of argC

Analysis of expression of the argC and argD genes in the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 [1].
The gene complementing one of those mutants was found to complement an E. coli argC mutant [2].
In strain NE1 of Tn5-1058-mutagenized Nostoc ellipsosporum, the transposon was found within a gene whose translation product is similar in amino acid sequence to the arginine-biosynthetic protein N-acetylglutamate semialdehyde dehydrogenase encoded by argC of Bacillus subtilis [3].

High impact information on argC

The expression of Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 argD, as well as of argC, was analyzed at the mRNA level [1].
