The enzyme has a broad substrate range and can act on most D-amino acids with the exception of D-glutamate and D-aspartate. However, activity is maximal with D-arginine and D-lysine. Not active on glycine. |

Comments: |
The enzyme is involved in production of the rare amino acid (3R)-3-methyl-L-arginine. The compound is used by the epiphytic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae as an antibiotic against the related pathogenic species Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. glycinea. Other bacteria incorporate the compound into more complex compounds such as the peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic arginomycin. |

Accepted name: |
arginine—pyruvate transaminase |
Reaction: |
L-arginine + pyruvate = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + L-alanine |
|

Other name(s): |
arginine:pyruvate transaminase; AruH; ATase |
Systematic name: |
L-arginine:pyruvate aminotransferase |
Comments: |
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. While L-arginine is the best substrate, the enzyme exhibits broad substrate specificity, with L-lysine, L-methionine, L-leucine, L-ornithine and L-glutamine also able to act as substrates, but more slowly. Pyruvate cannot be replaced by 2-oxoglutarate as amino-group acceptor. This is the first catalytic enzyme of the arginine transaminase pathway for L-arginine utilization in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This pathway is only used when the major route of arginine catabolism, i.e. the arginine succinyltransferase pathway, is blocked. |
