FAMILY

class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as DAPC_MYCTU, dapC. Involved in the lysine biosynthetic pathways. It catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from L-glutamate to N-succinyl-2-l-amino-6-oxoheptanedioate (N-succinyl-2-l-amino-6-ketopimelate) in a PLP-dependent reaction, yielding as products N-succinyl-l-2, 6-diaminoheptanedioate (N-succinyl-diaminopimelate) and 2-oxoglutarate (Probable). Homodimer.
