ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.2.59

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/6.3.2.59
Accepted Name
3-methyl-D-ornithine--L-lysine ligase
Alternative Name(s)
3-methylornithine--L-lysine ligase
N(6)-[(2R,3R)-3-methylornithyl]-L-lysine synthase
Reaction catalysed
(3R)-3-methyl-D-ornithine + L-lysine + ATP = (3R)-3-methyl-D-ornithyl-N(6)-L-lysine + ADP + phosphate + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of L-pyrrolysine, a naturally occurring, genetically coded amino acid found in some methanogenic archaea and a few bacterial species.
  • L-pyrrolysine is present in several methyltransferases that are involved in methyl transfer from methylated amine compounds to coenzyme M.
