EC | 2.3.1.264 | ||||
Accepted name: | β-lysine N6-acetyltransferase | ||||
Reaction: | acetyl-CoA + (3S)-3,6-diaminohexanoate = CoA + (3S)-6-acetamido-3-aminohexanoate | ||||
Glossary: | (3S)-3,6-diaminohexanoate = β-L-lysine (3S)-6-acetamido-3-aminohexanoate = N6-acetyl-β-L-lysine |
||||
Other name(s): | ablB (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | acetyl-CoA:(3S)-3,6-diaminohexanoate N6-acetyltransferase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme is found in some methanogenic archaea and bacteria. In archaea it is induced under salt stress. The product, N6-acetyl-β-L-lysine, serves as a compatible solute, conferring high salt resistance on the producing organisms. | ||||
