Show
Substrate N2-succinyl-L-ornithine [CPD:C03415];
2-oxoglutarate [CPD:C00026]
Product N-succinyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde [CPD:C05932];
L-glutamate [CPD:C00025]
Comment A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Also acts on N2-acetyl-L-ornithine
and L-ornithine, but more slowly [3]. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the
arginine-inducible succinylornithine transaminase, acetylornithine
transaminase (EC 2.6.1.11) and ornithine aminotransferase (EC
2.6.1.13) activities are catalysed by the same enzyme, but this is
not the case in all species [5]. This is the third enzyme in the
arginine succinyltransferase (AST) pathway for the catabolism of
arginine [1]. This pathway converts the carbon skeleton of arginine
into glutamate, with the concomitant production of ammonia and
conversion of succinyl-CoA into succinate and CoA. The five enzymes
involved in this pathway are EC 2.3.1.109 (arginine
N-succinyltransferase), EC 3.5.3.23 (N-succinylarginine
dihydrolase), EC 2.6.1.81 (succinylornithine transaminase), EC
1.2.1.71 (succinylglutamate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase) and EC
3.5.1.96 (succinylglutamate desuccinylase) [3, 6].
