l-lysine_2-aminotransferase |
Description |
L-lysine 2-aminotransferase (2.6.1.-) |
Alternative names |
BomE (gene name); |
Catalyzed reaction |
L-lysine + pyruvate = 2-oxo-6-aminohexanoate + L-alanine. |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
|
Other ketoacids can function as acceptors of the amino group.
Apparently, the 2-oxo-6-aminohexanoate product readily rearranges to a cyclic, dehydrated form, piperideine-2-carboxylate, which is a precursor in the biosynthesis of some antibiotics. |
Organisms |
