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. |
