Description
Studies of the enzyme from the bacterium Escherichia coli have shown that the reaction can be divided into three consecutive steps: Schiff base formation between pyruvate and an active-site lysine, the addition of L-aspartate-semialdehyde, and finally transimination leading to cyclization with simultaneous dissociation of the product.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
dihydrodipicolinate synthase (incorrect); dihydropicolinate synthetase (incorrect); dihydrodipicolinic acid synthase (incorrect); L-aspartate-4-semialdehyde hydro-lyase (adding pyruvate and cyclizing); dapA (gene name).
Reaction
pyruvate + L-aspartate-4-semialdehyde = (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate + H2O
