Comments [?]

FUNCTIONSmall subunit of the glutamine-dependent carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPSase). CPSase catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl phosphate from the ammonia moiety of glutamine, carbonate, and phosphate donated by ATP, constituting the first step of 2 biosynthetic pathways, one leading to arginine and/or urea and the other to pyrimidine nucleotides. The small subunit (glutamine amidotransferase) binds and cleaves glutamine to supply the large subunit with the substrate ammonia.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=2 ATP + H2O + hydrogencarbonate + L-glutamine = 2 ADP + carbamoyl phosphate + 2 H(+) + L-glutamate + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:18633, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:17544, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:58228, ChEBI:CHEBI:58359, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=6.3.5.5;
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY[]: Reaction=H2O + L-glutamine = L-glutamate + NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:15889, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938, ChEBI:CHEBI:29985, ChEBI:CHEBI:58359;
PATHWAYAmino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; carbamoyl phosphate from bicarbonate: step 1/1.
PATHWAYPyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 1/3.
SUBUNITComposed of two chains; the small (or glutamine) chain promotes the hydrolysis of glutamine to ammonia, which is used by the large (or ammonia) chain to synthesize carbamoyl phosphate. Tetramer of heterodimers (alpha,beta)4.
case <OG:Chloroplast>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONPlastid, chloroplast.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the CarA family.

Comments Bacillaceae, Geobacillus and lactobacillaceae seem to posess two members of this family: one specific for arginine biosynthesis (called CARX_ in ID, and CARA in GN) and the other specific for pyrimidine synthesis (called CARA_ in ID, and PYRAA in GN). Weird insert in THEMA; not shown in alignment.
