Bioinformatic evaluation of L-arginine catabolic pathways in 24 cyanobacteria and transcriptional analysis of genes encoding enzymes of L-arginine catabolism in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesBMC 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.

IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE EFFECTS OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES

open access: yesМедицинская 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.

Protein arginine deiminase 4 antagonizes methylglyoxal-induced histone glycation

open access: yesNature 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 ...

A ROLE OF ARGININE DEIMINASE FROM STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES M49-16 IN PROMOTING INFECTION AND INHIBITION OF ENDOTHELIAL CELL PROLIFERATION

open access: yesМедицинская 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.

Pegylated arginine deiminase depletes plasma arginine but maintains tissue arginine availability in young pigs

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Pegylated arginine deiminase depletes circulating arginine, but the citrulline generated is utilized by multiple tissues to regenerate arginine and sustain local arginine availability. Preempting the arginine depletion that occurs as result of sepsis and trauma with arginine deiminase offers the possibility of maintaining tissue arginine availability ...

Streptococcal Arginine Deiminase Inhibits T Lymphocyte Differentiation In Vitro [PDF]

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Pathogenic microbes use arginine-metabolizing enzymes as an immune evasion strategy. In this study, the impact of streptococcal arginine deiminase (ADI) on the human peripheral blood T lymphocytes function in vitro was studied.

Pegylated arginine deiminase drives arginine turnover and systemic autophagy to dictate energy metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yesCell Rep Med, 2022
Obesity is a multi-systemic disorder of energy balance. Despite intense investigation, the determinants of energy homeostasis remain incompletely understood, and efficacious treatments against obesity and its complications are lacking.

PEGylation increases antitumoral activity of arginine deiminase of Streptococcus pyogenes. [PDF]

open access: yesAppl Microbiol Biotechnol, 2022
Arginine auxotrophy is a metabolic defect that renders tumor cells vulnerable towards arginine-depleting substances, such as arginine deiminase (ADI) from Streptococcus pyogenes (SpyADI).
