Adenosylmethionine-8-amino-7-oxononanoate aminotransferase

UniProtKB accession:  P9WQ81

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the alpha-amino group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to 7-keto-8-aminopelargonic acid (KAPA) to form 7,8-diaminopelargonic acid (DAPA). It is the only aminotransferase known to utilize SAM as an amino donor (PubMed:20565114, PubMed:16984394). Can also use sinefungin but not S-adenosylhomocysteine as substrate (PubMed:20565114).
