| 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}. | |
