Protein Family Models

Arginine N-succinyltransferase EC:2.3.1.109 catalyses the transfer of succinyl-CoA to arginine to produce succinyl-arginine. This is the first step in arginine catabolism by the arginine succinyltransferase pathway. [1]. 9696779. Arginine catabolism and the arginine succinyltransferase pathway in Escherichia coli.

In many bacteria, the sole member of this protein family is arginine N-succinyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.109), the AstA protein of the arginine succinyltransferase (ast) pathway. However, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and several other species, a tandem gene pair encodes alpha and beta subunits of a heterodimer that is designated arginine and ornithine succinyltransferase (AOST).

In many bacteria, the arginine succinyltransferase (ast) pathway operon consists of five genes, including this protein, arginine N-succinyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.109). In a few species, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the member of this family is encoded adjacent to a paralog, and the two polypeptides form a heterodimeric enzyme, active on both arginine and ornithine. In such species, this polypeptide may be treated as the beta subunit of an enzyme that may be named either arginine N-succinyltransferase (AST) or arginine and orthithine N-succinyltransferase (AOST).
