Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION One of the enzymes of the urea cycle, the metabolic pathway transforming neurotoxic amonia produced by protein catabolism into inocuous urea in the liver of ureotelic animals. Catalyzes the formation of arginosuccinate from aspartate, citrulline and ATP and together with ASL it is responsible for the biosynthesis of arginine in most body tissues.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-citrulline + L-aspartate + ATP = 2-(N(omega)-L-arginino)succinate + AMP + diphosphate + H(+)BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; L-arginine from L-ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate: step 2/3.PATHWAY Nitrogen metabolism; urea cycle; (N(omega)-L-arginino)succinate from L-aspartate and L-citrulline: step 1/1.SUBUNIT Homotetramer (PubMed:18323623). Interacts with NMRAL1 (PubMed:17496144). Interacts with CLOCK; in a circadian manner (PubMed:28985504). Forms tissue-specific complexes with ASL, SLC7A1, HSP90AA1 and nitric oxide synthase NOS1, NOS2 or NOS3; the complex regulates cell-autonomous L-arginine synthesis and citrulline recycling while channeling extracellular L-arginine to nitric oxide synthesis pathway.INTERACTION Expressed in adult liver.DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Expressed in fetal liver and kidney.PTM Acetylated by CLOCK in a circadian manner which negatively regulates its enzyme activity. Deacetylated by histone deacetylases.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the argininosuccinate synthase family. Type 1 subfamily.ONLINE INFORMATION Leiden Open Variation Database (LOVD)
