Function
function
Small subunit of the glutamine-dependent carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPSase). CPSase catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from the ammonia moiety of glutamine, carbonate, and phosphate donated by ATP, constituting the first step of 2 biosynthetic pathways, one leading to arginine and/or urea and the other to pyrimidine nucleotides. The small subunit (glutamine amidotransferase) binds and cleaves glutamine to supply the large subunit with the substrate ammonia.
Catalytic activity
- hydrogencarbonate + L-glutamine + 2 ATP + H2O = carbamoyl phosphate + L-glutamate + 2 ADP + phosphate + 2 H+
- L-glutamine + H2O = L-glutamate + NH4+
Pathway
Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; carbamoyl phosphate from bicarbonate: step 1/1.
Pyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 1/3.

Interaction
Subunit
Composed of two chains; the small (or glutamine) chain promotes the hydrolysis of glutamine to ammonia, which is used by the large (or ammonia) chain to synthesize carbamoyl phosphate. Tetramer of heterodimers (alpha,beta)4.
