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.

    ab210451 staining ASS1 in wild-type HeLa cells (top panel) and ASS1 knockout HeLa cells (Human ASS1 knockout HeLa cell line ab264989) (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab210451 at 1/500 dilution and Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker ab195884 (Rat monoclonal to Tubulin - Alexa Fluor® 647) at 1/100 dilution overnight at 4°C. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
    Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems TCS SP8).

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab210451 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 90% methanol (-20°C) for 30 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab210451, 1/500 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Phycoerythrin (PE Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab209478) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50mW Yellow-Green laser (561nm) and 586/15 bandpass filter.
