Comments [?]

FUNCTIONCatalyzes two activities which are involved in the cyclic version of arginine biosynthesis: the synthesis of N-acetylglutamate from glutamate and acetyl-CoA as the acetyl donor, and of ornithine by transacetylation between N(2)-acetylornithine and glutamate.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=N(2)-acetyl-L-ornithine + L-glutamate = N-acetyl-L-glutamate + L-ornithine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15349, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:44337, ChEBI:CHEBI:46911, ChEBI:CHEBI:57805; EC=2.3.1.35;
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=L-glutamate + acetyl-CoA = N-acetyl-L-glutamate + CoA + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:24292, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:44337, ChEBI:CHEBI:57287, ChEBI:CHEBI:57288; EC=2.3.1.1;
PATHWAYAmino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; L-ornithine and N-acetyl-L-glutamate from L-glutamate and N(2)-acetyl-L-ornithine (cyclic): step 1/1.
PATHWAYAmino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; N(2)-acetyl- L-ornithine from L-glutamate: step 1/4.
SUBUNITHeterotetramer of two alpha and two beta chains.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONCytoplasm.
MISCELLANEOUSSome bacteria possess a monofunctional ArgJ, i.e., capable of catalyzing only the fifth step of the arginine biosynthetic pathway.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the ArgJ family.
