Roles of arginine and canavanine in the synthesis and repression of ornithine transcarbamylase by Escherichia coli.
Conditions were found under which the processes of repression and derepression of ornithine transcarbamylase were separated from the process of enzyme synthesis. After 10 min of arginine deprivation followed by the addition of 2 to 200 mug of l-arginine per ml, a number of strains of Escherichia coli exhibited a significant burst of ornithine transcarbamylase synthesis which lasted 3 to 4 min b...
متن کاملPolyamines and regulation of ornithine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
The growth rate of several polyamine-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli was very low in minimal medium and increased markedly upon the addition of putrescine, spermidine, arginine, citrulline, or argininosuccinic acid. The endogenous content of polyamines was not significantly altered by the supplementation of polyamine-starved cultures with arginine or its precursors. In contrast, these com...
متن کاملOrnithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency
Accumulation of ammonia in body tissues most commonly occurs in hepatic failure. However, it may also result from a specific deficiency of an enzyme of the urea cycle (Fig., 1). Severe hyperammonaemia has been reported with deficiencies of carbamyl phosphate synthetase (Freeman et al., 1964) and ornithine transcarbamylase (Russell et al., 1962; Levin and Russell, 1967). Some increase in blood a...
متن کاملAntepartum Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is the most common type urea cycle enzyme deficiencies. This syndrome results from a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine transcarbamylase, which catalyzes the conversion of ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate to citrullin. Our case was a 28-year-old female diagnosed with OTCD following neurocognitive deficit during her first pregnancy. Alt...
