Possible Interaction: Arginine and Asparagine

“The effect of the difference in SWLT components examined with mice showed that aspartic acid and asparagine , which are abundant in SWLT, counteracted the antistress effects of theanine and arginine.”

“The replacement of asparagine with glycine and the addition of two arginine molecules in the molecular structure results in modified pharmacokinetics.”

“Through asparagine synthetase knockdown and altering of media asparagine concentrations, we show that intracellular asparagine levels regulate uptake of amino acids, especially serine, arginine and histidine.”

“Substitution of the asparagine with either glutamine or arginine altered both the Ca2+ permeability and the sensitivity to blockades by Mg2+ and MK-801.”

“Substitution for arginine at position 14 with asparagine , glutamine, or alanine decreased the relative import level by 20-30% compared to the wild-type sequence when assayed in 1-h uptake experiments.”

“ResultsCorrespondence analysis of the composition of all P. ingrahamii proteins showed that (1) there are 6 classes of … proteins suggesting that, overall, they may have a lower hydrophobic character, and (3) there is strong opposition between asparagine …, arginine , cysteine and histidine and (4) one … these are cold-specific proteins.”

“Glutamine and asparagine repressed heterocyst formation, N2-fixation and nitrate reduction in Nostoc ANTH, but arginine did so only partially.”

“Arginine methyl ester (99.5 and 97% inhibition), argininamide (99 and 96%), S-(2-aminoethyl) cysteine (43 and …%), aspartic acid β-methyl ester (38 and 40%), norvaline (0 and 3%), citrulline (9 and 7%), and asparagine (2 and 0%) … incorporation of both arginine and aspartic acid, … complete reaction mixture.”

“ Arginine inhibited the ornithine transcarbamylase activity from cells grown with asparagine as nitrogen source, but activated it when the cells were grown with arginine.”
