Disease relevance of argC

 

High impact information on argC

  • Mutations causing semi-constitutive expression of argE improve putative promoter sequences within argC [4].
  • During the 15 min after the arginine down shift, relA+ cells produced a significant burst of argF and argH enzyme synthesis when arginine was added back to the culture, whereas relA cells did not produce this burst of enzyme synthesis [5].
  • L-Arginine (2.5 mM) repressed synthesis by argR+ extracts of argECBH mRNA 2-, to 3-fold, argE enzyme 5- to 8-fold, and argH enzyme 20- to 60-fold [6].
  • Added ppGpp had no important effect upon (i) measurable argE or argH enzyme activity, (ii) total protein synthesis in the cell-free system, or (iii) the rate of decay of hybridizable argECBH mRNA [7].
  • N-Acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate reductase (AGPR) catalyses the NADPH-dependent reduction of N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl phosphate to give the N-acetylglutamic semialdehyde [2].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of argC

  • Enzyme activity and size of the expressed protein in the E. coli auxotroph carrying the recombinant argC gene revealed that the cloned gene indeed codes for N-acetylglutamate 5-semialdehyde dehydrogenase [3].
 

Biological context of argC

 

Associations of argC with chemical compounds

  • The argECBH mRNA made under conditions of restricted protein synthesis had reduced ability to function in the formation of the argE and argH enzymes and was found to be predominantly 6 to 8S in sucrose density gradients [6].
