malfunction
enzyme deficiency results in elevated levels of plasma ammonia which is neurotoxic
metabolism
physiological function
-
Sulfolobus solfataricus lacks ornithine acetyltransferase and thus forms N-acetylglutamate exclusively via the energetically less favourable reaction catalysed by N-acetylglutamate synthase, investing 1 mol of acetyl CoA per mol of N-acetyl intermediate synthesized

first enzyme of bacterial and plant arginine biosynthesis, activator of urea cycle in animals
physiological function
first enzyme of bacterial and plant arginine biosynthesis, activator of urea cycle in animals
physiological function
first step in L-arginine biosynthesis in plants and micro organsims, inactive T-state with L-arginine bound and active R-state complexed with CoA and L-glutamate
physiological function
N-acetylglutamate synthase catalyzes the synthesis of N-acetyl-L-glutamate, an obligate cofactor for carbamyl phosphate synthetase I in the urea cycle. An N-terminal proline-rich motif of the enzyme is likely to function in signal transduction to carbamyl phosphate synthetase I, CPS1
physiological function
-
the enzyme plays a role in citrulline and/or arginine biosynthesis during the first day of development and in ammonia detoxification thereafter
