Description
The enzymes from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus and the thermophilic archaea Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Sulfolobus tokodaii protect the amino group of L-2-aminoadipate by conjugation to the carrier protein LysW. This reaction is part of the lysine biosynthesis pathway in these organisms.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage

Synonyms
α-aminoadipate-lysW ligase lysX (gene name); LysX (ambiguous); AAA-LysW ligase
Reaction
ATP + [lysine-biosynthesis-protein LysW]-C-terminal-L-glutamate + L-2-aminoadipate = ADP + phosphate + [lysine-biosynthesis-protein LysW]-C-terminal-γ-(L-2-aminoadip-2-yl)-L-glutamate
