Bifunctional arginine dihydrolase/ornithine cyclodeaminase AgrE

UniProtKB accession:  Q8YMD9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Bifunctional enzyme involved in a cyanobacterial arginine utilization pathway that produces glutamate and enables cellular adaptation to nitrogen fluctuations (PubMed:30636068). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to ornithine, with the release of ammonia and carbon dioxide (PubMed:30636068, PubMed:32198136). Then, catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to proline, with the release of ammonia (PubMed:30636068).
