UniProt functional annotation for Q9SCL7

UniProt code: Q9SCL7.

Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; malvids; Brassicales; Brassicaceae; Camelineae; Arabidopsis.
 
Function: Involved in the arginine biosynthetic pathway via the intermediate compound ornithine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16545809}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + N-acetyl-L-glutamate = ADP + N-acetyl-L-glutamyl 5- phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14629, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:44337, ChEBI:CHEBI:57936, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=2.7.2.8;
Activity regulation: Inhibited by arginine. Inhibition is relieved by binding to GLB1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19631611}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=7.08 mM for N-acetyl glutamate (NAG) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628}; Vmax=10.6 mmol/min/mg enzyme with N-acetyl glutamate (NAG) as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628};
Pathway: Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; N(2)-acetyl- L-ornithine from L-glutamate: step 2/4.
Subunit: Interacts with GLB1. Interaction is dependent of MgATP and inhibited by 2-oxoglutarate, arginine, glutamate, citrate, and oxaloacetate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17913711, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19631611}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast stroma {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16377628}.
Similarity: Belongs to the acetylglutamate kinase family. ArgB subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
