Human carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS1), a 1500-residue multidomain enzyme,
catalyzes the first step of ammonia detoxification to urea requiring
N-acetyl-L-glutamate (NAG) as essential activator to prevent ammonia/amino acids
depletion. Here we present the crystal structures of CPS1 in the absence and in
the presence of NAG, clarifying the on/off-switching of the urea cycle by NAG. By
binding at the C-terminal domain of CPS1, NAG triggers long-range conformational
changes affecting the two distant phosphorylation domains. These changes,
concerted with the binding of nucleotides, result in a dramatic remodeling that
stabilizes the catalytically competent conformation and the building of the
~35?Å-long tunnel that allows migration of the carbamate intermediate from its
site of formation to the second phosphorylation site, where carbamoyl phosphate
is produced. These structures allow rationalizing the effects of mutations found
in patients with CPS1 deficiency (presenting hyperammonemia, mental retardation
and even death), as exemplified here for some mutations.
