4.1.1.20
Description Diaminopimelate decarboxylase
Alternative names meso-diaminopimelate decarboxylase;
meso-diaminopimelic acid decarboxylase;
DAP decarboxylase;
DAPDC.
Catalyzed reaction Meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate = L-lysine + CO(2).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments Bacteria have developed at least three different routes to synthesize lysine from aspartate, but in each of these routes lysine is ultimately produced by decarboxylating diaminopimelate (DAP), a metabolite that is also involved in peptidoglycan formation.

DAP is a symmetric molecule, containing two alpha carbons - one in configuration L, the other in configuration D. The enzyme selectively removes the carboxylate group from the latter, to generate L-lysine.
Thus, diaminopimelate decarboxylase is a rare case of PLP-dependent D-amino-acid decarboxylase, together with the strictly related D-ornithine/D-lysine decarboxylase (4.1.1.116).
