Protein
3-keto-5-aminohexanoate cleavage enzyme
Organism
Fusobacterium nucleatum subsp. nucleatum (strain ATCC 25586 / CIP 101130 / JCM 8532 / LMG 13131)
Function
Involved in the anaerobic fermentation of lysine. Catalyzes the reversible reaction between 3-keto-5-aminohexanoate (KAH) and acetyl-CoA to form 3-aminobutyryl-CoA and acetoacetate. The reaction involves the deprotonation of KAH, the nucleophilic addition onto acetyl-CoA and the intramolecular transfer of the CoA moiety. It can also use beta-alanyl-CoA as substrate.
Similarity
Belongs to the KCE family.
