== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/OTCA_PYRFU OTCA_PYRFU] Reversibly catalyzes the transfer of the carbamoyl group from carbamoyl phosphate (CP) to the N(epsilon) atom of ornithine (ORN) to produce L-citrulline, which is a substrate for argininosuccinate synthetase, the enzyme involved in the final step in arginine biosynthesis.<ref>PMID:9288930</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Using synchrotron radiation, X-ray data have been collected from Pyrococcus furiosus ornithine carbamoyltransferase (Pfu OTCase) to a maximal resolution of 1.87 A, allowing the refinement of a previous structure at 2.7 A [Villeret et al. (1998), Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 95, 2801-2806]. Thanks to the high resolution of this refined structure, two sulfate ions and 191 water molecules could be localized directly from the electron-density maps. The identification of these molecules allowed a more rigorous description of the active site and the identification of residues involved in binding carbamoyl phosphate. The improved quality of the model resulted in a better definition of several loops and the various interfaces. The dodecameric protein is composed of four catalytic trimers disposed in a tetrahedral manner. The extreme thermal stability of Pfu OTCase is mainly the result of the strengthening of the intersubunit interactions in a trimer and oligomerization of the trimers into a dodecamer. Interfaces between monomers in a catalytic trimer are characterized by an increase in ion-pair networks compared with mesophilic OTCases. However, the interfaces between catalytic trimers in the dodecameric oligomer are mainly hydrophobic and also involve aromatic-aromatic and cation-pi interactions.
