• Enzymes from the transferase class that catalyze the transfer of acyl groups from donor to acceptor, forming either esters or amides. (lookformedical.com)
  • The reaction catalyzed by CPS III is: 2 ATP + L-glutamine + HCO3- + H20 → 2 ADP + Pi + L-glutamate + carbamoyl phosphat This reaction occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and include 4 steps: Bicarbonate (HCO3−) is phosphorylated using an ATP, generating carboxyphosphate (CHO6P2-) Glutamine (C5H10N2O3) is hydrolyzed into glutamate (C5H9NO4) and ammonia (NH3).

  • The cysteine residue Cyst294 along with three histidine residues Hist337, Hist367, and Hist378, have been identified as crucial for the glutamine-dependent activity. (wikipedia.org)
