Arginine Requirement and the Arginine Content of Casein

Poultry Science, 1964
Abstract Much has been written concerning the high arginine requirement of chicks fed diets based on casein as the source of protein. The peculiar amino acid balance of casein, as suggested by studies from this laboratory (Fisher, Shapiro and Griminger, 1960), may in part explain this phenomenon. We now wish to draw attention to a recently published

Effects of Arginine and Arginine Mimics on Antimicrobial Peptide Behavior [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2013
Antimicrobial peptides are naturally occurring components of the innate immune system which serve as a first line of defense against bacterial infection. While hundreds of antimicrobial peptides have been identified from natural sources, there is little in the way of consensus sequences that can identify peptides as antimicrobial.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

Increased glycation and oxidative damage to apolipoprotein B100 of LDL cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes and effect of metformin [PDF]

, 2010
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether apolipoprotein B100 of LDL suffers increased damage by glycation, oxidation, and nitration in patients with type 2 diabetes, including patients receiving metformin therapy.

Kidney Mass Reduction Leads to l‐Arginine Metabolism‐Dependent Blood Pressure Increase in Mice

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundUninephrectomy (UNX) is performed for various reasons, including kidney cancer or donation. Kidneys being the main site of l‐arginine production in the body, we tested whether UNX mediated kidney mass reduction impacts l‐arginine metabolism and

Metabolism via Arginase or Nitric Oxide Synthase: Two Competing Arginine Pathways in Macrophages

Frontiers in Immunology, 2014
Macrophages play a major role in the immune system, both as antimicrobial effector cells and as immunoregulatory cells, which induce, suppress or modulate adaptive immune responses.

The cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor and integrin signaling in normal B cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In lymphoid organs, antigen recognition and B cell receptor signaling rely on integrins and the cytoskeleton. Integrins act as mechanoreceptors, couple B cell receptor activation to cytoskeletal remodeling, and support immune synapse formation as well as antigen extraction.

Arginine mutation alters binding of a human monoclonal antibody to antigens linked to systemic lupus erythematosus and the antiphospholipid syndrome [PDF]

, 2007
Objective: Previous studies have shown the importance of somatic mutations and arginine residues in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of pathogenic anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies in human and murine lupus, and in studies of

Interaction between NO and oxytocin: Influence on LHRH release

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons have been localized in various parts of the CNS. These neurons occur in the hypothalamus, mostly in the paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei and their axons project to the neural lobe of the pituitary gland.

Functional Characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae P5C Reductase, the Enzyme at the Converging Point of Proline and Arginine Metabolism

Microorganisms, 2022
The enzyme that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, catalyzes the last step in both proline synthesis and arginine catabolism, δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) reductase, was purified to near homogeneity and characterized thoroughly.
