Protein
N-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-glutamate synthase
Organism
Staphylococcus aureus (strain MRSA ST398 / isolate S0385)
Function
Catalyzes the synthesis of N-((2S)-2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L-glutamate (ACEGA) from O-phospho-L-serine and L-glutamate. Involved in the biosynthesis of L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (L-Dap), a precursor of staphyloferrin B and antibiotics.
Similarity
Belongs to the cysteine synthase/cystathionine beta-synthase family. SbnA subfamily.
