  • Title: Regulation of arginase activity by intermediates of the arginine biosynthetic pathway in Neurospora crassa.
    Author: Mora J, Salceda R, Sanchez S.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1972 Jun; 110(3):870-7. PubMed ID: 4260560.
    Abstract:
    It has been found that, in Neurospora crassa, arginine synthesized from exogenous citrulline was not as effectively hydrolyzed as exogenous arginine. This was explained by the observed inhibition of arginase in vitro and in vivo by citrulline. The high arginine pool formed from exogenous citrulline feedback inhibits the arginine pathway. These two factors allow exogenous citrulline to be used adventitiously and efficiently as an arginine source. Finally, it was found that ornithine was a strong inhibitor of arginase. This suggests that the characteristically high ornithine pool of minimal cultures of Neurospora may act to control a potentially wasteful catabolism of endogenous arginine by arginase.
