Fungal Lysine Biosynthesis

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-011907

Fungi have evolved a unique alpha-amino-adipate pathway for lysine biosynthesis. The fungal-specific enzyme homoaconitate hydratase from this pathway is moderately similar to the aconitase-family proteins from a diverse array of taxonomic groups, which have varying modes of obtaining lysine.
