astA-I curation notes
- Q88EI3 carries the beta-chain-specific signatures
IPR017650 and
TIGR03244, supporting assignment as the beta-like component of split AstA
[file:PSEPK/astA-I/astA-I-uniprot.txt
"InterPro; IPR017650; Arginine_N-succinylTrfase";
"NCBIfam; TIGR03244; arg_catab_AstA"].
- Reproducible global alignments independently support that assignment: Q88EI3
is 85.6% identical across aligned residues to Pseudomonas aeruginosa beta
chain P80358, versus 38.0% to alpha chain P80357
[file:PSEPK/astA-I/astA-I-bioinformatics/RESULTS.md].
- The homologous purified Pseudomonas enzyme contains two nonidentical chain
types and is heterotetrameric PMID:7523119. Therefore Q88EI3 contributes to, rather than independently
enables, GO:0008791.
