Nα-Acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN) is a substrate for the identification, differentiation and characterization of N(α)-acetyl-L-ornithine deacetylase(s) and of N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase(s) (AOTCase) found in plants, some eubacteria and some human pathogens.

Already very early, the study of microbial arginine biosynthesis and its regulation contributed significantly to the development of new ideas and concepts. Hence, the term "repression" was proposed by Vogel (The chemical basis of heredity, The John Hopkins Press, Baltimore

The role of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling in resistance to root pathogens has been poorly documented. We assessed the contribution of SA and JA to basal and partial resistance of Arabidopsis to the biotrophic clubroot agent

N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase (AOTCase), rather than ornithine transcarbamylase (OTCase), is the essential carbamylase enzyme in the arginine biosynthesis of several plant and human pathogens. The specificity of this unique enzyme provides a potential target for controlling the spread of these pathogens.

We have identified in Xanthomonas campestris a novel N-acetylornithine transcarbamylase that replaces ornithine transcarbamylase in the canonic arginine biosynthetic pathway of several Eubacteria. The crystal structures of the protein in the presence and absence of the reaction product, N-acetylcitrulline, were

N-acetyl-L-ornithine transcarbamoylase (AOTCase) is a new member of the transcarbamoylase superfamily that is essential for arginine biosynthesis in several eubacteria. We report here crystal structures of the binary complexes of AOTCase with its substrates, carbamoyl phosphate (CP) or N-acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN)
