| Glossary: | LL-diaminopimelate = LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate tetrahydrodipicolinate = tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate |
||
| Other name(s): | LL-diaminopimelate transaminase; LL-DAP aminotransferase; LL-DAP-AT | ||
| Systematic name: | LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase | ||
| Comments: | A pyridoxal-phosphate enzyme. In vivo, the reaction occurs in the opposite direction to that shown above. This is one of the final steps in the lysine-biosynthesis pathway of plants (ranging from mosses to flowering plants). meso-Diaminoheptanedioate, an isomer of LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate, and the structurally related compounds lysine and ornithine are not substrates. 2-Oxoglutarate cannot be replaced by oxaloacetate or pyruvate. It is not yet known if the substrate of the biosynthetic reaction is the cyclic or acyclic form of tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate. | ||
