Arginine metabolism and the role of arginine deiminase-producing microorganisms in kimchi fermentation

open access: yesHeliyon, 2022
In this study, we evaluated the correlation between the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway and nitrogen cycle during cabbage kimchi fermentation. Nitrite used as a food additive can be converted to carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds via reactions with ...

Pegylated Arginine Deiminase Downregulates Colitis in Murine Models [PDF]

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2012
Arginine deiminase (ADI), an arginine-metabolizing enzyme involved in cell signaling, is dysregulated in multiple inflammatory diseases and cancers. We hypothesized that pegylated ADI (ADI-PEG) provide protection against colitis. Methods.

S. pyogenes M49-16 arginine deiminase inhibits proliferative activity of human peripheral blood lymphocytes

open access: yesИнфекция и иммунитет, 2021
Arginine deiminase is one of three enzymes constituting the arginine deiminase system in bacteria. It was demonstrated that arginine deiminase exerts anti-proliferative effects on some primary and immortalized mouse and human cells.

Influence of streptococcal arginine deiminase on the leukocyte infiltration in murine air pouch model

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2021
Numerous pathogens express arginine deiminase, an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of L-arginine in a chain of biochemical reactions aimed at the synthesis of ATP in bacterial cells. L-arginine is a semi-essential, proteinogenic amino acid that plays

Arginine Deiminase Induces Immunogenic Cell Death and Is Enhanced by N-acetylcysteine in Murine MC38 Colorectal Cancer Cells and MDA-MB-231 Human Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
The use of arginine deiminase (ADI) for arginine depletion therapy is an attractive anticancer approach. Combination strategies are needed to overcome the resistance of severe types of cancer cells to this monotherapy.

Implications of Porphyromonas gingivalis peptidyl arginine deiminase and gingipain R in human health and diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogenic bacterium involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Citrullination has been reported as the underlying mechanism of the pathogenesis, which relies on the interplay between two virulence factors of the ...

Regulation of glycolysis and cancer cell proliferation by PKM2 citrullination

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2021
Conversion of peptidyl-arginine to peptidyl citrulline, known as citrullination, is a post-translational protein modification catalyzed by the PADI (Protein Arginine Deiminase) family of enzymes. PADI1 and PADI3 catalyze citrullination of arginine 106 in

Regulation of arginine-ornithine exchange and the arginine deiminase pathway in Streptococcus lactis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1987
Streptococcus lactis metabolizes arginine by the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway. Resting cells of S. lactis grown in the presence of galactose and arginine maintain a high intracellular ornithine pool in the absence of arginine and other exogenous energy sources. Addition of arginine results in a rapid release of ornithine concomitant with the uptake

EFFECT OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES ON CYTOSKELETON STRUCTURE AND MIGRATION ACTIVITY OF HUMAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2017
There is a growing body of data about the cytopathic effect of bacterial arginine deiminase on human endothelial cells, but the precise mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction caused by the activity of the enzyme remain poorly understood.

Mapping of the arginine deiminase gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1982
A mutant of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO lacking arginine deiminase activity (arcA) was isolated by screening for a derivative of an arcB mutant (deficient in catabolic ornithine carbamoyltransferase) that did not excrete citrulline under conditions of limited aeration. The arcA mutation was highly cotransducible with arcB.
