ABSTRACT In Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola the enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase), encoded by argF, is negatively regulated by argR, similar to what has been reported for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. However, production of the phaseolotoxin-resistant OCTase encoded by argK, synthesis of phaseolotoxin, and infectivity for bean pods occur independently of the ArgR protein.

The effect of n-butylphosphonic acid on the activity of phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated: at low concentrations this compound appeared as an activator of the enzyme activity, whereas at higher concentrations it exhibited inhibitory properties. The experimental results were modelled according to an allosteric model involving two different classes of sites for n-butylphosphonic acid.

The catabolic ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OTCase) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa exhibits allosteric behaviour, with two conformational states of the molecule: an active R form and an inactive T form. The enzyme is a dodecamer with a molecular mass of 455700 Da. Three crystal forms have been obtained. Crystals of allosteric state T are rhombohedral, belonging to the R3 space group, with hexagonal unit-cell parameters a = b = 180.6, c = 122.0 Å. They diffract to a resolution of 4.5 Å. Two crystal forms for allosteric state R have been obtained, with hexagonal and cubic symmetries. Hexagonal crystals, which diffract to a resolution of 3.4 Å, belong to the space group P63 with unit-cell parameters a = b = 140.8, c = 145.6 Å. The cubic crystals belong to space group I23, with unit-cell parameter a = 134.32 Å and diffract to a resolution better than 2.5 Å. In all crystal forms, the dodecamer exhibits a 23 point-group symmetry.
