trimer | forms a head-to-head pseudohexamer in the asymmetric unit, each monomer is composed of an N-terminal CP-binding domain and a C-terminal ORN-binding domain joined by two interdomain helices. Conformation of the B2-H3 loop, residues 68-78, is involved in binding CP in an adjacent subunit of the trimer, overview | Campylobacter jejuni |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | aOTC is a widespread enzyme that is found in a large variety of organisms from bacteria to mammals | Campylobacter jejuni |
metabolism | anabolic ornithine transcarbamoylase is involved in the urea cycle and L-arginine biosynthesis | Campylobacter jejuni |
additional information | the conserved active site of Campylobacter jejuni aOTC consists of residues from both carbamoyl phosphate binding and L-ornithine-binding domains of the subunit and the B2-H3 loop, residues 68-78, from an adjacent subunit of the trimer, active site structure, overview | Campylobacter jejuni |
physiological function | OTC catalyzes the reversible transfer of the carbamoyl group from carbamoyl phosphate to the Nepsilon atom of L-ornithine to produce L-citrulline. There are two types of enzyme: anabolic, aOTC, and catabolic, cOTC. Anabolic OTCs catalyze the forward reaction and participate in the urea cycle and L-arginine biosynthesis | Campylobacter jejuni |
