N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase (AOTCase), rather than ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCase), is the essential carbamylase enzyme in the arginine biosynthesis of several plant and human pathogens. The specificity of this unique enzyme provides a potential target for controlling the spread of these pathogens.

Somatic embryogenesis is an important biotechnological technique for large-scale propagation of elite genotypes. Identifying stage-specific compounds associated with somatic embryo development can help elucidate the ontogenesis of Carica papaya L. somatic embryos and improve tissue culture protocols. To identify the

N-acetyl-L-ornithine transcarbamoylase (AOTCase) is a new member of the transcarbamoylase superfamily that is essential for arginine biosynthesis in several eubacteria. We report here crystal structures of the binary complexes of AOTCase with its substrates, carbamoyl phosphate (CP) or N-acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN)

Already very early, the study of microbial arginine biosynthesis and its regulation contributed significantly to the development of new ideas and concepts. Hence, the term "repression" was proposed by Vogel (The chemical basis of heredity, The John Hopkins Press, Baltimore
