High impact information on ARG81

  • By contrast, the recruitment of Arg81p and Arg82p was stimulated by exogenous arginine [1].
  • Arg80 and Mcm1, two members of the MADS box family of DNA-binding proteins, regulate the metabolism of arginine in association with Arg81, the arginine sensor [2].
  • The UASI-protein complex was also observed even when extracts were derived from arg80/argRI or arg81/argRII deletion mutants [3].
  • Furthermore, the same assays using a Rab5b R81A substitution mutant showed that the Arg81 in the Switch II region [the second GTP/GDP binding motif (residues 74-93)] was essential for Rab5b dimerization [4].
 

Associations of ARG81 with chemical compounds

  • This operator mutation helps to define a negative mode of control of the synthesis of the arginine biosynthetic enzymes, as had been suggested earlier upon the isolation of argRI- (arg80), argRII- (arg81), and argRIII- (arg82) specific regulatory mutations [5].
 

Other interactions of ARG81

  • Many of these residues are clustered on one side of the protein, which could serve as an interface for interaction with Arg81 or Mcm1 [2].
