2.6.1.83
Description LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase
Alternative names LL-diaminopimelate transaminase;
LL-DAP-aminotransferase;
Tetrahydrodipicolinate-glutamate aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate + 2-oxoglutarate = (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate + L-glutamate + H2O
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate
Comments A pyridoxal-phosphate enzyme.
In vivo, the reaction occurs in the opposite direction to that shown above. This is one of the final steps in the lysine-biosynthesis pathway of plants (ranging from mosses to flowering plants). meso-Diaminoheptanedioate, an isomer of LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate, and the structurally related compounds lysine and ornithine are not substrates. 2-Oxoglutarate cannot be replaced by oxaloacetate or pyruvate. It is not yet known if the substrate of the biosynthetic reaction is the cyclic or acyclic form of tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate.
An enzyme involved in L-Lysine biosynthesis in plants and Chlamidia. It specifically catalyzes the interconversion of tetrahydrodipicolinate and LL-diaminopimelate, a process requiring three separate enzymes (including succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase - EC 2.6.1.17) in the Lysine biosynthetic pathway found in Escherichia coli.
