    Arginase 1 is a key driver of immune suppression in pancreatic cancer

    Rosa E Menjivar, Zeribe C Nwosu ... Marina Pasca di Magliano
    Deletion of Arginase 1 in myeloid cells delays tumor formation in pancreatic cancer.

    Protein arginine methylation facilitates KCNQ channel-PIP2 interaction leading to seizure suppression

    Hyun-Ji Kim, Myong-Ho Jeong ... Hana Cho
    The PRMT1 protein mediates arginine methylation of KCNQ2 channels to control neuronal excitability.

    Pancreatic tumors exhibit myeloid-driven amino acid stress and upregulate arginine biosynthesis

    Juan J Apiz Saab, Lindsey N Dzierozynski ... Alexander Muir
    Analysis of the tumor microenvironment reveals that pancreatic tumors experience metabolic stress caused by immune cell degradation of the amino acid arginine, and that pancreatic cancers cope by synthesizing arginine to provide access this amino acid despite low tumor availability.

    C9orf72 arginine-rich dipeptide repeat proteins disrupt karyopherin-mediated nuclear import

    Lindsey R Hayes, Lauren Duan ... Jeffrey D Rothstein
    Poly-PR and poly-GR interact with importin β, disrupt importin-cargo loading, and inhibit nuclear import in permeabilized cells in a manner that can be rescued by RNA.

    Control of TSC2-Rheb signaling axis by arginine regulates mTORC1 activity

    Bernadette Carroll, Dorothea Maetzel ... Viktor I Korolchuk
    Signaling pathway mTOR can sense its principal activator amino acid arginine via a different mechanism than that previously described for other amino acids.

    Inhibitory IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells are T-bet-dependent and facilitate cytomegalovirus persistence via coexpression of arginase-1

    Mathew Clement, Kristin Ladell ... Ian R Humphreys
    The results presented here indicate that IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells express genes associated with chronically activated TH1-like cells, undergo clonal expansion, and inhibit antiviral T cell responses via the secretion of arginase-1, facilitating viral persistence in mice infected with MCMV.

    Carm1-arginine methylation of the transcription factor C/EBPα regulates transdifferentiation velocity

    Guillem Torcal Garcia, Elisabeth Kowenz-Leutz ... Thomas Graf
    A mutation in the lineage-determining regulator C/EBPα that increases the factor’s affinity for its partner PU.1 dramatically accelerates the velocity of B cell to macrophage transdifferentiation.

    The carcinine transporter CarT is required in Drosophila photoreceptor neurons to sustain histamine recycling

    Drew Stenesen, Andrew T Moehlman, Helmut Krämer
    Fly vision depends on a member of the SLC22 transporter family for recycling the histamine neurotransmitter following its uptake by glia and its modification into the transport metabolite carcinine.

    Evolution of histone 2A for chromatin compaction in eukaryotes

    Benjamin R Macadangdang, Amit Oberai ... Siavash K Kurdistani
    The N-terminal domain in histone 2A serves as an evolutionary tool to enable greater chromatin compaction when genome size is disproportionately larger than the nuclear volume across eukaryotes.

    Rate-limiting transport of positively charged arginine residues through the Sec-machinery is integral to the mechanism of protein secretion

    William J Allen, Robin A Corey ... Ian Collinson
    The time it takes to secrete a protein is dominated by diffusion of positively charged arginines through the channel across the membrane, but lysines avoid this problem as they are neutralised before transport.
