Protein
LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase 2
Organism
Nostoc sp. (strain PCC 7120 / SAG 25.82 / UTEX 2576)
Function
Involved in the synthesis of meso-diaminopimelate (m-DAP or DL-DAP), required for both lysine and peptidoglycan biosynthesis. Catalyzes the direct conversion of tetrahydrodipicolinate to LL-diaminopimelate.
Similarity
Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. LL-diaminopimelate aminotransferase subfamily.
