ID   6.3.2.29
DE   cyanophycin synthase (L-aspartate-adding).
AN   cyanophycin synthetase.
AN   multi-L-arginyl-poly-L-aspartate synthase.
CA   [L-4-(L-arginin-2-N-yl)aspartate](n) + ATP + L-aspartate = [L-4-
CA   (L-arginin-2-N-yl)aspartate](n)-L-aspartate + ADP + H(+) + phosphate.
CC   -!- Both this enzyme and EC 6.3.2.30 are required for the elongation of
CC       cyanophycin, which is a protein-like cell inclusion that is unique to
CC       cyanobacteria and acts as a temporary nitrogen store.
CC   -!- Both enzymes are found in the same protein but have different active
CC       sites.
CC   -!- Both L-Asp and L-Arg must be present before either enzyme will
CC       display significant activity.
