Enzymological and immunochemical analyses of the liver were performed in seven Japanese patients with citrullinemia.Among the urea cycle enzymes in the liver, only the activity of argininosuccinate synthetase was specifically decreased to 2 to 50% of normal controls. Liver argininosuccinate synthetase of patients was indistinguishable from that of controls when tested immunochemically by Ouchterlony's double immunodiffusion technique with anti-rat argininosuccinate synthetase antiserum. Immunochemical analysis by means of the single radial immunodiffusion revealed that the decrease in the activity of liver argininosuccinate synthetase was explainable by a decrease in the amount of the enzyme protein in five patients, while the decrease in the activity in the other two patients was not accompanied by a decrease of enzyme protein.TheKmvalues for the substrates of liver argininosuccinate synthetase of the former five were similar to those of the control, while the kinetic properties of the latter two were quite different in terms of higherKmvalues and negative cooperativity.From these results, we consider that citrullinemia may consist of more than one type including qualitative or quantitative abnormalities of argininosuccinate synthetase caused by some defects in certain genes or in the epigenetic processes in the liver.
