Neonatal-onset carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency
RATIONALE The carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPS1D) was rare and hard to diagnose due to its atypical symptoms. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was typically unavailable in other reports because most patients died before diagnosis was confirmed. Furthermore, it was found a new mutation that had not been described previously. PATIENT CONCERNS This is a case of neonatal-ons...
متن کاملAllosteric dominance in carbamoyl phosphate synthetase.
A linked-function analysis of the allosteric responsiveness of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) from E. coli was performed by following the ATP synthesis reaction at low carbamoyl phosphate concentration. All three allosteric ligands, ornithine, UMP, and IMP, act by modifying the affinity of CPS for the substrate MgADP. Individually ornithine strongly promotes, and UMP strongly antagonizes,...
متن کاملStructural defects within the carbamate tunnel of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase.
The X-ray crystal structure of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) from Escherichia coli has unveiled the existence of two molecular tunnels within the heterodimeric enzyme. These two interdomain tunnels connect the three distinct active sites within this remarkably complex protein and apparently function as conduits for the transport of unstable reaction intermediates between successive activ...
متن کاملCarbamoyl phosphate synthetase: caught in the act of glutamine hydrolysis.
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli catalyzes the production of carbamoyl phosphate from two molecules of Mg2+ATP, one molecule of bicarbonate, and one molecule of glutamine. The enzyme consists of two polypeptide chains referred to as the large and small subunits. While the large subunit provides the active sites responsible for the binding of nucleotides and other effector li...
متن کاملSynchronization of the three reaction centers within carbamoyl phosphate synthetase.
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from E. coli catalyzes the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate through a series of four reactions occurring at three active sites connected by a molecular tunnel of 100 A. To understand the mechanism for coordination and synchronization among the active sites, the pre-steady-state time courses for the formation of phosphate, ADP, glutamate, and carbamoyl phosphate we...
