Glutamate—putrescine ligase

This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-ammonia (or amine) ligases (amide synthases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-glutamate:putrescine ligase (ADP-forming). Other names in common use include gamma-glutamylputrescine synthetase, and YcjK. This enzyme participates in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups.
