Protein
Probable N-succinyldiaminopimelate aminotransferase DapC
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
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 (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
