Target data

Function

One of the enzymes of the urea cycle, the metabolic pathway transforming neurotoxic amonia produced by protein catabolism into inocuous urea in the liver of ureotelic animals. Catalyzes the formation of arginosuccinate from aspartate, citrulline and ATP and together with ASL it is responsible for the biosynthesis of arginine in most body tissues.

Activity summary

ASS1 or argininosuccinate synthase 1 is an enzyme that plays an important role in the urea cycle. It catalyzes the conversion of citrulline and aspartate into argininosuccinate using ATP in the process. The ASS1 protein is commonly expressed in the liver where it actively participates in the detoxification of ammonia. It has a molecular mass of approximately 46 kDa. Some alternate names for this protein include ASS and ASS-1.

Biological function summary

Argininosuccinate synthase 1 contributes significantly to the synthesis of arginine an essential amino acid through its conversion activities. The enzyme operates as a homotrimer a complex consisting of three identical subunits. This enzymatic activity is indispensable in maintaining the balance of nitrogen and ammonia within the body particularly important for liver and kidney functions.

Pathways

ASS1 is a critical component of both the urea cycle and the nitric oxide metabolism pathway. The urea cycle helps in detoxifying ammonia by converting it into urea which is excreted in urine. In nitric oxide metabolism ASS1 links with nitric oxide synthase to facilitate the use of arginine in producing nitric oxide a vital signaling molecule. The pathway engagement partners include proteins like citrin which supplies aspartate for the reaction.

Associated diseases and disorders

ASS1 has implications in citrullinemia and hepatocellular carcinoma. Citrullinemia results from mutations in the ASS1 gene leading to defective urea cycle function and ammonia accumulation. In cancer particularly hepatocellular carcinoma low expression of ASS1 correlates with poor prognosis as cancer cells often exhibit arginine auxotrophy. Connections through these conditions involve interactions with enzymes such as arginase which also influences arginine availability.

    Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-ASS1 antibody (ab77590)

    ICC/IF image of ab77590 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween (no animal sera) for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab77590 at 10μg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (pseudo-colored green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 donkey anti- goat (Donkey Anti-Goat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150133) IgG used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (pseudo-colored red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h at room temperature. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (pseudo-colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM for 1hour at room temperature.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-ASS1 antibody (ab77590)

    IHC image of ab77590 staining in human kidney formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab77590, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
