BACKGROUND: Streptococcus mutans is a major pathogen responsible for dental caries. Arginine is a promising potential caries preventive agent which can inhibit the growth of S. mutans. However, the mechanism whereby arginine inhibits S. mutans growth r...

In natural environments, photosynthetic organisms adjust their metabolism to cope with the fluctuating availability of combined nitrogen sources, a growth-limiting factor. For acclimation, the dynamic degradation/synthesis of tetrapyrrolic pigments, as well as of the amino acid arginine, is ...

Defective arginine synthesis, due to the silencing of argininosuccinate synthase 1 (ASS1), is a common metabolic vulnerability in cancer, known as arginine auxotrophy. Understanding how arginine depletion kills arginine-auxotrophic cancer cells will facilitate the development of anti-cancer therapeu...

Eosinophils are the predominant immune cells implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, highlighting the need for strategies to mitigate their effects. While previous studies have indicated a potential relationship between lysosomes and eosinophils, the precise role of lysosomes in eosinophil acti...

Most available knowledge on fungal arginine metabolism is derived from studies on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which arginine catabolism is initiated by releasing urea via the arginase reaction. Orthologs of the S. cerevisiae genes encoding the first three enzymes in the arginase pathway were cloned...

Analysis of the response to arginine of the Escherichia coli K-12 transcriptome by microarray hybridization and real-time quantitative PCR provides a first coherent quantitative picture of the ArgR-mediated repression of arginine biosynthesis and uptake genes. Transcriptional repression was shown to...

In natural environments, photosynthetic organisms adjust their metabolism to cope with the fluctuating availability of combined nitrogen-sources, a growth limiting factor. For the acclimation, the dynamic degradation/synthesis of tetrapyrrolic pigments as well as of the amino acid arginine is pivota...

Amino acid metabolism provides significant insight into the development and prevention of many viral diseases. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the amino acid profiles of hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) patients with those of healthy individuals and to further reveal the molecular ...

Goals of the Study:; 1. Assess the scope of arginine-responsive hepatic gene expression using in vitro rat models. 2. Compare normal and tumorigenic cells; 3. Identify potentially novel genes and pathways that may be subject to amino acid (arginine) regulation; Background: We previously reported t...
