Structure
[PDB|1VZ6] (from ''Streptomyces clavuligerus'', 36% identity) [Pubmed|15352873]
[PDB|1VRA] (C-terminal domain, aa 193 ... 406, from ''B. halodurans'', 60% identity)
[AF|P36843]
Modification
ArgJ has been shown to be synthesized as a precursor protein that undergoes proteolytic cleavage, leading to the formation of α and β subunits that assemble into heterodimeric or heterotetrameric molecules. [pubmed|11320085]
