Nitro analogs of substrates for argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase.
The nitro analogs of aspartate and argininosuccinate were synthesized and tested as substrates and inhibitors of argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase, respectively. The Vmax for 3-nitro-2-aminopropionic acid was found to be 60% of the maximal rate of aspartate utilization in the reaction catalyzed by argininosuccinate synthetase. Only the nitronate form of this substrate, in...
متن کاملHyperammonemia: regulation of argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinate lyase genes in aggregating cell cultures of fetal rat brain.
Hyperammonemia in the brain leads to poorly understood alterations of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis. Arginine, the substrate of nitric oxide synthases, might be recycled from the citrulline produced with NO by argininosuccinate synthetase (AS) and argininosuccinate lyase (AL). The regulation of AS and AL genes during hyperammonemia is unknown in the brain. We used brain cell aggregates cultured f...
متن کاملThe Relationship of Arginine Deprivation, Argininosuccinate Synthetase and Cell Death in Melanoma
It has been shown that melanoma cells do not express argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS) and therefore are unable to synthesize arginine from citrulline. Depleting arginine using pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG20) results in cell death in melanoma but not normal cells. This concept was translated into clinical trial and responses were seen. However, induction of ASS expression does occur w...
متن کاملKinetic mechanism of bovine liver argininosuccinate lyase.
The kinetic mechanism of bovine liver argininosuccinate lyase has been determined at pH 7.5, 25 degrees C. Fumarate and arginine are both noncompetitive inhibitors versus argininosuccinate. The dead-end inhibitor, succinate, is competitive versus fumarate and argininosuccinate, but noncompetitive versus arginine. Citrulline is competitive versus arginine and noncompetitive versus argininosuccin...
متن کاملIsotopic probes of the argininosuccinate lyase reaction.
The mechanism of the argininosuccinate lyase reaction has been probed by the measurement of the effects of isotopic substitution at the reaction centers. A primary deuterium isotope effect of 1.0 on both V and V/K is obtained with (2S,3R)-argininosuccinate-3-d, while a primary 15N isotope effect on V/K of 0.9964 +/- 0.0003 is observed. The 15N isotope effect on the equilibrium constant is 1.018...
