Nα-Acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN) is a substrate for the identification, differentiation and characterization of N(α)-acetyl-L-ornithine deacetylase(s) and of N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase(s) (AOTCase) found in plants, some eubacteria and some human pathogens.
N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase (AOTCase), rather than ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCase), is the essential carbamylase enzyme in the arginine biosynthesis of several plant and human pathogens. The specificity of this unique enzyme provides a potential target for controlling the spread of these pathogens.
N-acetyl-L-ornithine transcarbamoylase (AOTCase) is a new member of the transcarbamoylase superfamily that is essential for arginine biosynthesis in several eubacteria. We report here crystal structures of the binary complexes of AOTCase with its substrates, carbamoyl phosphate (CP) or N-acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN)

We have identified in Xanthomonas campestris a novel N-acetylornithine transcarbamylase that replaces ornithine transcarbamylase in the canonic arginine biosynthetic pathway of several Eubacteria. The crystal structures of the protein in the presence and absence of the reaction product, N-acetylcitrulline, were

Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological technique for large-scale propagation of elite genotypes. Identifying stage-specific compounds associated with somatic embryo development can help elucidate the ontogenesis of Carica papaya L. somatic embryos and improve tissue culture protocols. To identify the
The role of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling in resistance to root pathogens has been poorly documented. We assessed the contribution of SA and JA to basal and partial resistance of Arabidopsis to the biotrophic clubroot agent
