IL-1beta | ASS is rapidly induced by a short time exposure of IL-1beta to Caco-2 cells. By contrast, a long-term 24 h exposure to IL-1beta inhibited the ASS activity despite an increase in both specific mRNA-level and protein amount, demonstrating a post-translational effect | Homo sapiens |
Inhibitors | Comment | Organism | Structure |
---|---|---|---|
IL-1beta | a long-term 24 h exposure of ASS to IL-1beta in Caco-2 cells inhibits its activity. The inhibiting effect of IL-1beta is linked to the production of nitric oxide (NO) induced by IL-1beta. The inhibiting effect is totally blocked in the presence of N-methyl-L-arginine an inhibitor of the inducible nitric oxide synthase or by culturing the cells in an arginine-deprived medium | Homo sapiens |

Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | it is shown that IL-1beta inhibits the ASS activity through a post-translational mechanism since increase in both specific mRNA-level and protein amount can be detected after long-time exposure of Caco-2 cells to IL-1beta. The inhibiting effect of IL-1beta is linked to the production of nitric oxide (NO) induced by IL-1beta | Homo sapiens |
nitrosylation | exposure of ASS to IL-1beta in Caco-2 cells induces the nitrosylation of the ASS protein | Homo sapiens |
