6.3.2.30	ATP + [L-Asp(4-L-Arg)]n-L-Asp + L-Arg	a small amount of cyanophycin is required as a primer	
6.3.2.30	ATP + [L-Asp(4-L-Arg)]n-L-Asp + L-Arg	study of expression profiles of the genes cphA1 and cphA2 and their dependence on the type of nitrogen supply in the medium	
6.3.2.30	additional information	without L-aspartic acid 9.2% activity compared to the reaction mixture containing both substrates, no activity using L-glutamic acid instead of L-aspartic acid, no activity without addition of small amounts of cyanophycin as a primer for synthesis	
6.3.2.30	additional information	CphA requires L-Asp, L-Arg, ATP, Mg2+, and low-molecular mass cyanophycin as a primer for cyanophycin synthesis and catalyzes the elongation of a low-molecular mass cyanophycin, overview	
6.3.2.30	additional information	cyanophycin synthetase catalyzes the synthesis of cyanophycin by ATP-dependent polymerization of L-Asp and L-Arg. In vitro, the activity of CphA generally depends on the presence of L-Asp, L-Arg, ATP, Mg2+, K+, sulfhydryl compound, and cyanophycin as primers
