Arginine,?N2-acetylarginine and?N2-glutamylarginine do not act as substrates [3]. This is the second enzyme in the arginine succinyltransferase (AST) pathway for the catabolism of arginine [1]. This pathway converts the carbon skeleton of arginine into glutamate, with the concomitant production of ammonia and conversion of succinyl-CoA into succinate and CoA. The five enzymes involved in this pathway are EC?2.3.1.109?(arginine?N-succinyltransferase), EC?3.5.3.23?(N-succinylarginine dihydrolase), EC?2.6.1.81?(succinylornithine transaminase), EC?1.2.1.71?(succinylglutamate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) and EC?3.5.1.96?(succinylglutamate desuccinylase). |
