Tsatsakis, George N. Tzanakakis Syndecan 2, a cell surface proteoglycan, boasts a unique structure and multiple cellular roles. Increasing evidence demonstrates the ability of syndecan 2 to control cancer cell fate, in a manner depending on the respective tumor type. Researchers have demonstrated that syndecan 2 is a conduit point for signals originating in extracellular matrix capable, through exquisitely regulated downstream mechanisms, to regulate cancer cell functions. Studies on syndecan 2 pinpoint this proteoglycan as a potential target for cancer treatment 1. 896 Biochemical characterization of Argininosuccinate Lyase from M. tuberculosis: significance of a c-terminal cysteine in catalysis and thermal stability Archita Mishra, Avadhesha Suroli A product-based feed-back inhibition of Argininocuccinate Lyase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtArgH), where fumarate covalently modifies a cysteine residue on the c-terminus of MtArgH. This cysteine is found to be crucial for the activity as well as the stability of the enzyme and its modification (succination) leads to a feed-back inhibition of enzyme activity. This phenomenon provides novel insights to the regulation of arginine biosynthesis in M tuberculosis 2.
