SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
L-aspartate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase (2-iminosuccinate-forming)
The enzyme is strictly specific for L-aspartate as substrate. It produces the unstable compound 2-iminosuccinate, which, in the presence of water, hydrolyses spontaneously to form oxaloacetate. The enzyme from some archaea and thermophilic bacteria is likely to transfer 2-iminosuccinate directly to EC 2.5.1.72, quinolinate synthase, preventing its hydrolysis and enabling the de novo biosynthesis of NAD+.
