DESCRIPTION

Also known as OAMS_ACESD, oraS. Component of a complex that catalyzes the reversible migration of the omega amino group of D-ornithine to C-4 to form (2R, 4S)-2, 4-diaminopentanoic acid. The role of OraS remains obscure; however, it seems to be required for a correct folding of the OraE subunit. The complex is active only on D-ornithine and 2, 4-diaminopentanoic acid and not active on L-ornithine, L-beta-lysine, L-alpha-lysine or D-alpha-lysine. Heterotetramer of 2 alpha (OraS) and 2 beta (OraE) subunits.
