General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity

ATP + L-aspartate = ADP + 4-phospho-L-aspartate.

Enzyme regulation

Synthesis and activity are sensitive to the allosteric inhibitor lysine, one of the end metabolites of the aspartic acid family branched pathway. Ref.7

Pathway

Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-lysine biosynthesis via DAP pathway; (S)-tetrahydrodipicolinate from L-aspartate: step 1/4.

Subunit structure

Homodimer. In the inactive form a homotetramer is formed. Ref.6 Ref.7

Miscellaneous

Aspartokinases I and II also catalyze the same reaction(s).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the aspartokinase family.

Contains 1 ACT domain.
