| Description | Dihydrodipicolinate synthase ( ) (DHDPS, DapA) catalyses, in higher plants, some fungi and bacteria (gene dapA), the first reaction specific to the biosynthesis of lysine and of diaminopimelate [ ]. DHDPS is responsible for the condensation of aspartate semialdehyde and pyruvate by a ping-pong mechanism in which pyruvate first binds to the enzyme by forming aSchiff-base with a lysine residue [ , ].Other proteins are structurally related to DHDPS and probably also act via a similar catalytic mechanism [ ]:Escherichia coli N-acetylneuraminate lyase (EC 4.1.3.3) (gene nanA), which catalyses the condensation of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine and pyruvate to form N-acetylneuraminate.Trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase.D-4-deoxy-5-oxoglucarate dehydratase.Rhizobium meliloti protein mosA [ ], which is involved in the biosynthesis of the rhizopine 3-o-methyl-scyllo-inosamine.Thermoproteus tenax 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate/2-dehydro-3-deoxy-phosphogluconate aldolase (KdgA) []. |
