title: [Effects of DTT and thioredoxins on rat argininosuccinate synthetase activity in vitro].
abstract: Argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS, EC 6.3.4.5), the third enzyme of urea-cycle, was studied in desactivated extracts of rat liver. The enzyme is activated, in vitro, by Mg2+ ions (5 mM) and dithiothreitol (DTT: 10 mM). After reduction by DTT, thioredoxins isolated from rat liver were able to activate ASS by 370%.
