Comments [?]

Catalytic activity RHEA:18633: 2 ATP + H2O + hydrogencarbonate + L-glutamine = 2 ADP + carbamoyl phosphate + 2 H(+) + L-glutamate + phosphate
EC 6.3.5.5
Pathway Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; carbamoyl phosphate from bicarbonate: step 1/1.
Pyrimidine metabolism; UMP biosynthesis via de novo pathway; (S)-dihydroorotate from bicarbonate: step 1/3.
Subunit Composed 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.
case <OG:Chloroplast>
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast.
end case
Similarity Belongs 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.
