Sequence analysis and expression of the arginine‐deiminase and carbamate‐kinase genes of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

, 1989
The arcABC operon of Pseudomonas aeruginosa encodes arginine deiminase, catabolic ornithine carbamolytransferase and carbamate kinase, respectively. We have determined the nucleotide sequences of the arcA and arcC genes.

Arginine stimulates intestinal cell migration through a focal adhesion kinase dependent mechanism [PDF]

, 2004
Background: l-Arginine is a nutritional supplement that may be useful for promoting intestinal repair. Arginine is metabolised by the oxidative deiminase pathway to form nitric oxide (NO) and by the arginase pathway to yield ornithine and ...

Regulation of the Arginine Deiminase System by ArgR2 Interferes with Arginine Metabolism and Fitness of Streptococcus pneumoniae

mBio, 2014
Streptococcus pneumoniae is auxotrophic for arginine, and molecular analysis of the pneumococcal genome showed that the gene encoding an arginine-ornithine antiporter (ArcD) is organized in a cluster together with the arcABC genes encoding the arginine ...

Periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis—Global efforts to untangle two complex diseases

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the impact of oral health on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) will inform how best to manage patients with both periodontitis and RA. This review seeks to provide an update on interventional and mechanistic investigations, including a brief summary of European Research programs investigating the link between periodontitis and RA.

Pegylated Arginine Deiminase Downregulates Colitis in Murine Models

Mediators 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.

Antibiotic‐mediated immune modulation in periodontitis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the supporting structures of the teeth. Although initiated by dysbiotic microbial communities, its progression is largely driven by the host's uncontrolled inflammatory response. While antibiotics have conventionally been employed in periodontitis therapy for their antimicrobial ...

Transcriptome analysis shows activation of the arginine deiminase pathway in Lactococcus lactis as a response to ethanol stress [PDF]

, 2017
This paper describes the molecular response of Lactococcus lactis NZ9700 to ethanol. This strain is a well-known nisin producer and a lactic acid bacteria (LAB) model strain.
