Protein Family Models

This domain is found at the C-terminus of argininosuccinate lyase [1-2]. [1]. 11698398. Mutational analysis of duck delta 2 crystallin and the structure of an inactive mutant with bound substrate provide insight into the enzymatic mechanism of argininosuccinate lyase.

Members of this family include fumarate hydratase, L-aspartate ammonia-lyase, argininosuccinate lyase, and adenylosuccinate lyase. All are classified as lyases, meaning these enzymes break a bond by an eliminating reaction that does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation.

This model describes argininosuccinate lyase, but may include examples of avian delta crystallins, in which argininosuccinate lyase activity may or may not be present and the biological role is to provide the optically clear cellular protein of the eye lens.
