Allosteric control of the oligomerization of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli.
Biochemistry - 18 Sept 2001
Kim J, Raushel F M
Abstract excerpt
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) from Escherichia coli is allosterically regulated by the metabolites ornithine, IMP, and UMP. Ornithine and IMP function as activators, whereas UMP is an inhibitor. CPS undergoes changes in the state of oligomerization that are dependent on the protein concentration and the binding of allosteric effectors. Ornithine and IMP promote the formation of an (alphabeta)4 tetramer...
