Possible Interaction: Arginine and Polypeptides

“The infusion of arginine did induce an increase in PP level, which reached a statistically significant maximum at 90 min.”

“3 The contractile response to poly‐l‐arginine was inhibited in a concentration‐dependent manner by prior incubation of guinea‐pig tracheal rings with a number of anionic polypeptides including, low molecular weight heparin, poly‐l‐aspartic acid and bovine serum albumin.”

“The heterologous production of the cyanobacterial storage polymer cyanophycin granule polypeptide (CGP) in plastids increases the amount of arginine substantially (Huhns et al. 2008; Huhns et al. 2009; Nausch et al. 2016a).”

“When Chlamydomonas cells resorb their flagella, seven polypeptides become asymmetrically dimethylated (aDMA) on arginine residues.”

“Addition of arginine caused ribosomes that had synthesized the uORF polypeptide to stall at its termination codon, reducing loading at the downstream start codon, apparently by blocking scanning ribosomes, and not by affecting reinitiation.”

“Here again, this reduction of the size of polypeptides seems amino acid specific since it is especially marked during arginine starvation.”

“Light, CO2, sulfur, and phosphorus starvation as well as the addition of arginine to culture media increased the amount of cyanophycin granule polypeptide in cells when compared with that in cells grown under conditions optimal for growth.”
