Function

function

Large 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 large subunit (synthetase) binds the substrates ammonia (free or transferred from glutamine from the small subunit), hydrogencarbonate and ATP and carries out an ATP-coupled ligase reaction, activating hydrogencarbonate by forming carboxy phosphate which reacts with ammonia to form carbamoyl phosphate.

Caution

Lacks conserved residue(s) required for the propagation of feature annotation.
The sequence shown here is derived from an EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ whole genome shotgun (WGS) entry which is preliminary data.

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.

Domain

The large subunit is composed of 2 ATP-grasp domains that are involved in binding the 2 ATP molecules needed for carbamoyl phosphate synthesis. The N-terminal ATP-grasp domain (referred to as the carboxyphosphate synthetic component) catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of hydrogencarbonate to carboxyphosphate and the subsequent nucleophilic attack by ammonia to form a carbamate intermediate. The C-terminal ATP-grasp domain (referred to as the carbamoyl phosphate synthetic component) then catalyzes the phosphorylation of carbamate with the second ATP to form the end product carbamoyl phosphate. The reactive and unstable enzyme intermediates are sequentially channeled from one active site to the next through the interior of the protein over a distance of at least 96 A.
