RESUMO
Feedback inhibition of N-acetylgutamate synthase in a particulate fraction from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by L-arginine was synergistically enhanced by N-actylglutamate, whereas coenzyme A let to an additive enhancement of arginine inhibition. N-acetylglutamate synthase was not inhibited by polyamines, nor was the enzyme inactivated by incubation in the presence of coenzyme A and zinc ions. Evidence was obtained for the involvement of at least three different regulatory mechanisms in the expression of N-acetylglutamate synthase: arginine-specific repression, glucose repression and general amino acid control. The combined action of these control mechanisms led to a 90-fold variation in the specific activity of the enzyme.
