B8BVB6 · ARGJ_THAPS

Function

function

Catalyzes two activities which are involved in the cyclic version of arginine biosynthesis: the synthesis of acetylglutamate from glutamate and acetyl-CoA, and of ornithine by transacetylation between acetylornithine and glutamate.

Miscellaneous

This protein may be expected to contain an N-terminal transit peptide but none has been predicted.

Catalytic activity

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; L-ornithine and N-acetyl-L-glutamate from L-glutamate and N2-acetyl-L-ornithine (cyclic): step 1/1.
Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; N2-acetyl-L-ornithine from L-glutamate: step 1/4.
