ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.2.43

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.3.2.43
Accepted Name
[amino-group carrier protein]--L-2-aminoadipate ligase
Alternative Name(s)
AAA--LysW ligase
alpha-aminoadipate-lysW ligase
Reaction catalysed
[amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-L-glutamate + L-2-aminoadipate + ATP = [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-N-(1,4-dicarboxybutan-1-yl)-L-glutamine + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzymes from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus and the thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Sulfolobus tokodaii protect the amino group of L-2-aminoadipate by conjugation to the carrier protein LysW.
  • This reaction is part of the lysine biosynthesis pathway in these organisms.
  • Formerly EC 6.3.2.n4.
