Disease relevance of ARG1
- Infection of wild-type plants with a virulent strain of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato also up-regulated LeARG2 expression and arginase activity [1].
High impact information on ARG1
- Regulation of plant arginase by wounding, jasmonate, and the phytotoxin coronatine [1].
- In higher plants, which also utilize arginine for the production of polyamines and NO, the potential role of arginase as a control point for arginine homeostasis has not been investigated [1].
- In leaves, LeARG2 expression and arginase activity were induced in response to wounding and treatment with jasmonic acid (JA), a potent signal for plant defense responses [1].
Associations of ARG1 with chemical compounds
- In mammalian cells, induced expression of arginase in response to wound trauma and pathogen infection plays an important role in regulating the metabolism of L-arginine to either polyamines or nitric oxide (NO) [1].
