ID 6.3.2.30 DE cyanophycin synthase (L-arginine-adding). AN cyanophycin synthetase. AN multi-L-arginyl-poly-L-aspartate synthase. CA [L-4-(L-arginin-2-N-yl)aspartate](n)-L-aspartate + ATP + L-arginine = CA [L-4-(L-arginin-2-N-yl)aspartate](n+1) + ADP + H(+) + phosphate. CC -!- Both this enzyme and EC 6.3.2.29 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. CC -!- Canavanine and lysine can be incoporated into the polymer instead of CC arginine.
