nikk
Description Aminohexuronic acid aminotransferase (2.6.1.-)
Catalyzed reaction Ketohexuronic acid + L-glutamate = aminohexuronic acid + 2-oxoglutarate
Cofactor Pyridoxal phosphate
The enzyme nikk is an essential protein for nikkomycin biosynthesis.
Nikkomycins act as a competitive inhibitor of chitin synthetase and display potent activities against phytopathogenic and human pathogenic fungi.
Organisms -Eubacteria
