Biological context of speA

 

Anatomical context of speA

  • These results suggest that it may be possible to use an arginine decarboxylase inhibitor in conjunction with known inhibitors of ornithine decarboxylase to block all putrescine biosynthesis in prokaryotic cells and thus to study the effects of such inhibition in these organisms [13].
  • Selective disruption of the cell envelope and an assessment of ADC activity or immunoprecipitable ADC in various fractions demonstrated its location between the cytoplasmic membrane and peptidoglycan layer [14].
 

Associations of speA with chemical compounds

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of speA

  • Peptide mapping experiments with V8 protease, trypsin, and alpha-chymotrypsin demonstrated that the two species of ADC were very similar except for a minor difference [14].
  • The diminished ornithine and arginine decarboxylase activities are shown to result from reversible post-translational inhibition since the enzymes could be reactivated to normal levels upon titration of the inhibitors [17].
  • We report here the crystallization of arginine decarboxylase from E. coli [18].
  • High-performance liquid chromatography method with radiochemical detection for measurement of nitric oxide synthase, arginase, and arginine decarboxylase activities [19].
