AAK_AKiii-LysC-EC: Amino Acid Kinase Superfamily (AAK), AKiii-LysC-EC: this CD includes the N-terminal catalytic aspartokinase (AK) domain of the lysine-sensitive aspartokinase isoenzyme AKIII. AKIII is a monofunctional class enzyme (LysC) found in some bacteria such as E. coli. Aspartokinase is the first enzyme in the aspartate metabolic pathway and catalyzes the conversion of aspartate and ATP to aspartylphosphate and ADP. In E. coli, LysC is reported to be a homodimer of 50 kD subunits.
