EC 2.1.4.3     
Accepted name: L-arginine:L-lysine amidinotransferase
Reaction: L-arginine + L-lysine = L-ornithine + L-homoarginine
Glossary: phaseolotoxin = N5-[amino(sulfoamino)phosphoryl]-L-ornithyl-L-alanyl-L-arginine
Other name(s): amtA (gene name)
Systematic name: L-arginine:L-lysine amidinotransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. phaseolicola, is involved in the biosynthesis of the toxin phaseolotoxin, a modified tripeptide that causes the ’halo blight’ disease of beans.
