Abstract
The synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate required in both arginine and pyrimidine biosyntheses is carried out by a single enzyme in Escherichia coli. Opposed effects of pyrimidine nucleotides and of ornithine on the activity of the enzyme ensure a proper supply of carbamoyl phosphate according to the needs of the two biosynthetic sequences.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
