SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
[amino group carrier protein]-C-terminal-L-glutamate:L-2-aminoadipate ligase (ADP-forming)
The enzymes from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus and the thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Sulfolobus tokodaii protect the amino group of L-2-aminoadipate by conjugation to the carrier protein LysW. This reaction is part of the lysine biosynthesis pathway in these organisms.
