Protein Domain : Quinolinate synthetase A IPR003473

Type  Family
Description  Quinolinate synthetase catalyses the second step of the de novobiosynthetic pathway of pyridine nucleotide formation. In particular, quinolinate synthetase is involved in the condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and iminoaspartate to form quinolinic acid [ ]. This synthesis requires two enzymes, an FAD-containing "B protein"and an "A protein". B protein converts L-aspartate to iminoaspartate. The A protein, NadA, converts iminoaspartate to quinolate. NadA harbours a [4Fe-4S] cluster [].
