Description
Requires Mg2+ for activity. Both this enzyme and EC 6.3.2.29, cyanophycin synthase (L-aspartate-adding), are required for the elongation of cyanophycin, which is a protein-like cell inclusion that is unique to cyanobacteria and acts as a temporary nitrogen store. Both enzymes are found in the same protein but have different active sites. Both L-Asp and L-Arg must be present before either enzyme will display significant activity. Canavanine and lysine can be incoporated into the polymer instead of arginine.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

Reaction
ATP + [L-Asp(4-L-Arg)]n-L-Asp + L-Arg = ADP + phosphate + [L-Asp(4-L-Arg)]n+1
