| UniProt functional annotation for Q5SH23 | |||
| UniProt code: Q5SH23. |
| Organism: | Thermus thermophilus (strain ATCC 27634 / DSM 579 / HB8). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Deinococcus-Thermus; Deinococci; Thermales; Thermaceae; Thermus. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19620981}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=[amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-L-glutamate + ATP + L-2-aminoadipate = [amino-group carrier protein]-C-terminal-N-(1,4- dicarboxybutan-1-yl)-L-glutamine + ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:41940, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9693, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:9694, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:58672, ChEBI:CHEBI:78503, ChEBI:CHEBI:78525, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=6.3.2.43; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19620981}; | |
