Protein
Alpha-aminoadipate/glutamate carrier protein LysW
Organism
Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (strain ATCC 33909 / DSM 639 / JCM 8929 / NBRC 15157 / NCIMB 11770)
Function
Carrier protein that bears the covalently bound substrates for arginine and lysine biosynthesis; bound L-glutamate is sequentially converted to L-ornithine, while bound alpha-aminoadipate (AAA) is sequentially converted to L-lysine.
