    5.4.3.8 | (S)-4-Amino-5-oxopentanoate |
the enzyme may catalyze a part reaction in the conversion of L-Glu to 5-amino-4-oxopentanoate in greening plastids |
| 5.4.3.8 | (S)-4-Amino-5-oxopentanoate |
4,5-dioxovalerate and 4,5-diaminovalerate are reaction intermediates |
| 5.4.3.8 | glutamate-1-semialdehyde |
the enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of the tetrapyrrole precursor, delta-aminolevulinic acid, from glutamate by the tRNA-dependent five-carbon pathway |
| 5.4.3.8 | L-glutamate 1-semialdehyde |

| 5.4.3.8 | more |
complex formation between glutamyl-tRNA reductase and glutamate-1-semialdehyde 2,1-aminomutase in Escherichia coli during the initial reactions of porphyrin biosynthesis suggests direct metabolic channeling between both enzymes to protect the reactive aldehyde species glutamate-1-semialdehyde |
