Abstract excerpt
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI) deficiency, a recessively inherited error of the urea cycle, causes life-threatening hyperammonaemia. CPSI is a multidomain 1500-residue liver mitochondrial matrix protein that is allosterically activated by N-acetyl-l-glutamate, and which synthesises carbamoyl phosphate (CP) in three steps: bicarbonate phosphorylation by ATP, carbamate synthesis from carboxyphosphate and...
