argG
Domain
The monomer is composed of two major structural domains: a nucleotide-binding domain and a catalytic/multimerization domain. Binding of ATP results in a large rigid body conformational change of the nucleotide binding domain.
Pathway
Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; L-arginine from L-ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate: step 2/3.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the argininosuccinate synthase family. Type 2 subfamily.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
