General information
Name of the gene or DNA sequence
Cyanophycin synthetase
Abbreviation
CS-cyeI
Category of DNA sequence
  • Protein coding sequence
Is the gene / DNA sequence is a synthetic molecule?
No
Donor organism
Donor organism
Thermosynechococcus elongatus - Cyanobacteria
Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence
Cyanophycin Synthetase
Biological function
Cyanophycin synthetase catalyzes the polymerisation of aspartate monomers to a polyaspartate-chain. The aspartate monomers are covalently linked by their beta-carboxy- and alpha-amino groups. Additional arginine side chains are observed. This biopolymer is produced by a variety of cyaonobacteria such as Thermosynecchococcus elongates as a storage molecule for nitrogen.
