This domain is found in a group of prokaryotic proteins, including Alpha-aminoadipate carrier protein LysW from Thermus thermophilus. LysW is an amino group-carrier protein that plays an important role in lysine biosynthesis. This globular domain is composed of five beta-strands and adopts a similar structure to members of the zinc ribbon superfamily. It is responsible for the binding of a zinc atom [1-5].
This entry represents the preATP-grasp domain found at the N-terminal of archaeal LysX, ArgX and similar proteins. LysX catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of a covalent bond between the amino group of alpha-aminoadipate (AAA) and the gamma-carboxy ...
This entry represents the preATP-grasp domain found at the N-terminal of archaeal LysX, ArgX and similar proteins. LysX catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of a covalent bond between the amino group of alpha-aminoadipate (AAA) and the gamma-carboxyl group of the C-terminal glutamate residue in LysW [1,2]. ArgX catalyses the ATP-dependent formation of a covalent bond between the amino group of glutamate and the gamma-carboxyl group of the C-terminal glutamate residue in LysW [2].
