ID   6.3.2.59
DE   3-methyl-D-ornithine--L-lysine ligase.
AN   3-methylornithine--L-lysine ligase.
AN   N(6)-[(2R,3R)-3-methylornithyl]-L-lysine synthase.
CA   (3R)-3-methyl-D-ornithine + L-lysine + ATP = (3R)-3-methyl-D-ornithyl-
CA   N(6)-L-lysine + ADP + phosphate + H(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of L-pyrrolysine,
CC       a naturally occurring, genetically coded amino acid found in some
CC       methanogenic archaea and a few bacterial species.
CC   -!- L-pyrrolysine is present in several methyltransferases that are
CC       involved in methyl transfer from methylated amine compounds to
CC       coenzyme M.
