DE   [amino-group carrier protein]--L-2-aminoadipate ligase.
AN   AAA--LysW ligase.
AN   alpha-aminoadipate-lysW ligase.
CA   [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-L-glutamate + L-2-aminoadipate +
CA   ATP = [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-N-(1,4-dicarboxybutan-1-
CA   yl)-L-glutamine + ADP + phosphate + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzymes from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus and
CC       the thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Sulfolobus
CC       tokodaii protect the amino group of L-2-aminoadipate by conjugation
CC       to the carrier protein LysW.
CC   -!- This reaction is part of the lysine biosynthesis pathway in these
CC       organisms.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 6.3.2.n4.
