Interactions between the lipoprotein PilP and the secretin PilQ in Neisseria meningitidis.

abstract：:It has been found that, in Neurospora crassa, arginine synthesized from exogenous citrulline was not as effectively hydrolyzed as exogenous arginine. This was explained by the observed inhibition of arginase in vitro and in vivo by citrulline. The high arginine pool formed from exogenous citrulline feedback inhibits t...
