== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ARGA_MYCTU ARGA_MYCTU] Catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamate to alpha-N-acetyl-L-glutamate. L-glutamine is a significantly better substrate compared to L-glutamate.<ref>PMID:15838030</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) Rv2747 gene encodes for a functional protein known as ArgA, which plays an important role in the first step of the l-arginine biosynthesis pathway. ArgA transfers the acetyl group from the acetyl-CoA to either l-glutamate or l-glutamine, which are the known substrates. Here, we present two crystal structures of ArgA: one complexed with CoA and product bound N-acetylglutamine and the other complexed with acetyl-CoA and the inhibitor l-arginine at 2.3 and 3.0A resolution respectively. The Mtb ArgA protomer was found to have a "V" cleft and a "beta" bulge, archetypal of a classical GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase superfamily of proteins. The product bound form implies that ArgA can also acetylate l-glutamine like l-glutamate. The active site is strongly inhibited by l-arginine resulting in a closed conformation of ArgA and both l-arginine and N-acetylglutamine were found to occupy at the same active site. Together with structural analysis, molecular docking studies, microscale thermophoresis and enzyme inhibition assays, we conclude that l-glutamine, l-glutamate and l-arginine, all occupy at the same active site of ArgA. Furthermore in case of Mtb ArgA, l-arginine does not act as an allosteric inhibitor unlike other N-acetylglutamate synthase family of proteins.
