The enzyme catalyses the first committed step in the urea cycle. The reaction proceeds via three separate chemical reactions: phosphorylation of hydrogencarbonate to carboxyphosphate; a nucleophilic attack of ammonia on carboxyphosphate yielding carbamate; and the phosphorylation of carbamate forming carbamoyl phosphate. Two moles of ATP are utilized for the synthesis of one molecule of carbamyl phosphate, making the reaction essentially irreversible. The enzyme requires the allosteric activator N-acetyl-L-glutamate. cf. EC 6.3.5.5, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing).

CPS1 activity is decreased by treatment with peroxynitrite in a peroxynitrite concentration- and time-dependent manner due to tyrosine nitration (47% decrease in 1 min and 60% decrease in 10 min with 1 mM peroxynitrite)
a sirtuin enzyme, that deacetylates CPSI, which activates CPSI. During fasting, NAD in liver mitochondria increases, thereby triggering SIRT5 deacetylation of CPS1 and adaptation to the increase in amino acid catabolism. SIRT5 KO mice fail to up-regulate CPS1 activity and show elevated blood ammonia during fasting, overview
overexpression of SIRT5 in mice leads to increased deacetylation and activation of CPS1 protein in liver of transgenic mice compared to wild-type mice. Urea production is upregulated in hepatocytes of SIRT5 transgenic mice

LITERATURE
nobiletin is able to lower serum ammonia levels in mice fed with regular chow (RC), high-fat (HFD) or high-protein diet. NOB rescues CPS1 protein levels under the HFD condition via induction of the transcription factors C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta. HPD markedly increases CPS1 levels relative to RC. A functional circadian clock, is required for nobiletin induction of CPS1 under the HFD condition
