Disease

ARGI1_HUMAN Defects in ARG1 are the cause of argininemia (ARGIN) [MIM:207800; also known as hyperargininemia. Argininemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. Arginine is elevated in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and periodic hyperammonemia occurs. Clinical manifestations include developmental delay, seizures, mental retardation, hypotonia, ataxia, progressive spastic quadriplegia.[1] [2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The crystal structure of the human arginase I-thiosemicarbazide complex reveals an unusual thiocarbonyl mu-sulfide ligand in the binuclear manganese cluster. The C=S moiety of thiosemicarbazide bridges Mn(2+)A and Mn(2+)B with coordination distances of 2.6 A and 2.4 A, respectively. Otherwise, the binding of thiosemicarbazide to human arginase I does not cause any significant structural changes in the active site. The crystal structure of the unliganded enzyme reveals a hydrogen bonded water molecule that could support proton transfer between a mu-water molecule and H141 to regenerate the nucleophilic mu-hydroxide ion in the final step of catalysis.
