UniProt functional annotation for P0A6E4

UniProt code: P0A6E4.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + L-aspartate + L-citrulline = 2-(N(omega)-L- arginino)succinate + AMP + diphosphate + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10932, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29991, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:33019, ChEBI:CHEBI:57472, ChEBI:CHEBI:57743, ChEBI:CHEBI:456215; EC=6.3.4.5;
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; L-arginine from L-ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate: step 2/3.
Subunit: Homotetramer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11738042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11809762}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}.
Domain: The monomer is composed of two major structural domains: a nucleotide-binding domain and a catalytic/multimerization domain. Binding of ATP results in a large rigid body conformational change of the nucleotide binding domain.
Similarity: Belongs to the argininosuccinate synthase family. Type 2 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
