ID 6.3.2.29 DE Cyanophycin synthase (L-aspartate-adding). AN Cyanophycin synthetase. AN Multi-L-arginyl-poly-L-aspartate synthase. CA ATP + (L-Asp(4-L-Arg))(n) + L-Asp = ADP + phosphate + (L-Asp(4-L- CA Arg))(n)-L-Asp. CF Magnesium. 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.
