Structural highlights
Function
ACDAS_XANCP Catalyzes the deacetylation of N-acetyl-L-citrulline to produce L-citrulline. This is a step in an alternative arginine biosynthesis pathway (PubMed:16585758, PubMed:16511126). Is also able to catalyze the deacetylation of N-acetylornithine in vitro, with almost equal velocity. However, this reaction may be not relevant in vivo since Xanthomonas does not possess the canonical argF gene and cannot convert ornithine to citrulline via ArgF' (PubMed:16585758).[1] [2]
