EC 2.3.1.306     
Accepted name: acetyl-CoA:lysine N6-acetyltransferase
Reaction: acetyl-CoA + L-lysine = CoA + N6-acetyl-L-lysine
Other name(s): LYC1 (gene name); lysine N6-acetyltransferase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:L-lysine N6-acetyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses the first step of an L-lysine degradation pathway found in many fungal species. The enzyme is specific for acetyl-CoA as the acetyl donor. cf. EC 2.3.1.32, lysine N-acetyltransferase.
