Bioinformatic evaluation of L-arginine catabolic pathways in 24 cyanobacteria and transcriptional analysis of genes encoding enzymes of L-arginine catabolism in the cyanobacterium
BMC Genomics, 2007 Background So far very limited knowledge exists on L-arginine catabolism in cyanobacteria, although six major L-arginine-degrading pathways have been described for prokaryotes.

Protein arginine deiminase 4 antagonizes methylglyoxal-induced histone glycation
Nature Communications, 2020 Protein arginine deiminase 4 (PAD4) facilitates the posttranslational citrullination of histones H3 and H4. Here, the authors provide evidence that PAD4 antagonizes histone methylglyoxal-glycation by rewriting the glycated arginine into citrulline and ...

IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE EFFECTS OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES [PDF]
Медицинская иммунология, 2015 Many pathogens use metabolic pathway of arginine for successful dissemination. Bacterial arginine deiminase hydrolyzes arginine to form one molecule of ammonia and two molecules of ATP.

A ROLE OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES M49-16 IN PROMOTING INFECTION AND INHIBITION OF ENDOTHELIAL CELL PROLIFERATION [PDF]
Медицинская иммунология, 2016 Arginine deiminase is a bacterial enzyme that hydrolyses arginine with citrulline and ammonia formation. In recent years, increasing evidence is reported about in vitro and in vivo anti-angiogenic action of arginine deiminase from Mycoplasma spp.

Regulation of Arginine-Ornithine Exchange and the Arginine Deiminase Pathway in Streptococcus lactis [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1987 Streptococcus lactis metabolizes arginine by the argiqine 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 ...

Convergent evolution of the arginine deiminase pathway:the ArcD and ArcE arginine/ornithine exchangers [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2016 The arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway converts L-arginine into L-ornithine and yields 1 mol of ATP per mol of L-arginine consumed. The L-arginine/L-ornithine exchanger in the pathway takes up L-arginine and excretes L-ornithine from the cytoplasm ...

A protocol to induce systemic autophagy and increase energy metabolism in mice using PEGylated arginine deiminase [PDF]
STAR Protocols, 2022 Summary: Obesity is a prevalent metabolic disorder worldwide. Here, we describe a comprehensive protocol using pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-EPG 20) to apply the concept that arginine depletion induces systemic autophagy to drive whole-body energy ...
