Kinetic Characterization and Catalytic Mechanism of N-Acetylornithine Aminotransferase Encoded by slr1022 Gene from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803.

ABSTRACT: The enzyme encoded by slr1022 gene from Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was reported to function as N-acetylornithine aminotransferase, γ-aminobutyric acid aminotransferase, and ornithine aminotransferase, which played important roles in multiple metabolic pathways. Among these functions, N-acetylornithine aminotransferase catalyzes the reversible conversion of N-acetylornithine to N-acetylglutamate-5-semialdehyde with PLP as cofactor, which is a key step in the arginine biosynthesis pathway. However, the investigation of the detailed kinetic characteristics and catalytic mechanism of Slr1022 has not been carried out yet. In this study, the exploration of kinetics of recombinant Slr1022 illustrated that Slr1022 mainly functioned as N-acetylornithi
