Abstract excerpt
The catalytic activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) from Escherichia coli is allosterically regulated by UMP, IMP, and ornithine. Thirteen amino acids within the domain that harbors the overlapping binding sites for IMP and UMP were mutated to alanine and characterized. The four residues that interact directly with the phosphate moiety of IMP in the X-ray crystal structure (K954, T974, T977, and K993)...
