| Abstract | We have undertaken studies to identify amino acid residues that are involved in the catalytic mechanism of argininosuccinate synthetase [L-citrulline:L-aspartate ligase (AMP-forming), EC 6.3.4.5] and have found that a cysteine residue and an arginine residue are required for activity. The reactive cysteine residues are accessible to solvent and available to react with 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB). Four cysteine residues, one per subunit, are shown by enzymatic assay to be required for catalytic activity, suggesting that a reactive cysteine lies within the active site of argininosuccinate synthetase. In the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, 12 cysteine residues react with DTNB; consequently, all of the half-cystine residues in the native enzyme are present in the reduced sulfhydryl form. We also present evidence for the participation of arginine groups in the binding of ATP and PPi. Modification of argininosuccinate synthetase with [14C]-phenylglyoxal results in incorporation concomitant with loss of catalytic activity of 4 mol of phenylglyoxal per mol of native enzyme (one arginine per active site). ATP and PPi protect the enzyme from phenylglyoxal incorporation. Based on these results, we propose that the essential arginine in the active site participates in the binding of ATP and PPi. The binding of ATP and PPi at the same site is mutually exclusive; this exclusion is in accord with the finding that argininosuccinate synthetase has one reactive arginine residue per active site per subunit. This is consistent with our previously proposed reaction mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
