L-canaline ) or avoid its incorporation into their own nascent proteins.
2.
By these sequential reactions, the canaline-urea cycle ( analogous to the ornithine-urea cycle ) is formed.
3.
Every time a canavanine molecule runs through the canaline-urea cycle, the two terminal nitrogen atoms are released as urea.
4.
L-Canaline is a substrate for ornithine aminotransferase resulting in the synthesis of L-ureidohomoserine ( the corresponding analog of L-citrulline ).
5.
L-Canaline is the only naturally occurring amino acid known that has an " O "-alkyl hydroxylamine functionality in the side chain.
6.
Tobacco hornworm larvae fed a diet containing 2.5 mM canaline showed massive developmental aberrations, and most larvae so treated died at the pupal stage.
7.
L-Canaline can by reductively cleaved to L-homoserine, a non-protein amino acid of great importance in the formation of a host of essential amino acids.
8.
Canavanine is accumulated primarily in the seeds of the organisms which produce it, where it serves both as a highly deleterious defensive compound against herbivores and a vital source of nitrogen for the growing embryo ( see also L-canaline ).
