ASS1• The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the
penultimate step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway.
• There are approximately 10 to 14 copies of this gene, the only functional copy is on chromosome 9.
• Mutations in ASS1 cause citrullinemia.

• High ASS1 expression renders sarcoma cells resistant arginine deprivation caused by ADI-PEG20.
• Sarcoma cell lines are arginine auxotrophs
Arginine Deprivation Induces Autophagy
Autophagy. The arginine depletion using ADI-PEG20 induces autophagy by day 2 as seen by in increased LC3 cleavage and p62 alterations in ASS1 low cell lines.
MNNG/HOS ASS1 Low Xerografts
The osteosarcoma cell line MNNG/HOS was xenografted into the back fat pad of nude mice. Mice we treated daily with chloroquine and biweekly with ADI-PEG20. Tumors were measured starting on day 6. Mice were treated with PBS (Green) ADI-PEG20 (red), Chloroquine (Blue) or the combination of ADI-PEG20 and Chloroquine (Purple). The combination demonstrated statistical significance.

Warburg Effect• In oncology, the Warburg effect is the observation that
most cancer cells predominantly produce energy by a high rate of glycolysis followed by lactic acid fermentation in the cytosol, rather than by a comparatively low rate of glycolysis followed by oxidation of pyruvate in mitochondria as in most normal cells.
• The latter process is aerobic (uses oxygen). Malignant, rapidly growing tumor cells typically have glycolytic rates up to 200 times higher than those of their normal tissues of origin; this occurs even if oxygen is plentiful.

• In March 2008, Lewis C. Cantley and colleagues at the Harvard Medical School announced they had identified the enzyme that gave rise to the Warburg effect.
• PKM2, a form of the pyruvate kinase enzyme, is produced in all rapidly dividing cells, and is responsible for enabling cancer cells to consume glucose at an accelerated rate; on forcing the cells to switch to pyruvate kinase's alternative form by inhibiting the production of tumor M2-PK, their growth was curbed.
