In enzymology, an arginine N-succinyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.109) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

succinyl-CoA + L-arginine [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] CoA + N2-succinyl-L-arginine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are succinyl-CoA and L-arginine, whereas its two products are CoA and N2-succinyl-L-arginine.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinyl-CoA:L-arginine N2-succinyltransferase. Other names in common use include arginine succinyltransferase, AstA, arginine and ornithine N2-succinyltransferase, AOST, AST, and succinyl-CoA:L-arginine 2-N-succinyltransferase. This enzyme participates in arginine and proline metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1YLE.
