Protein attributes

Sequence length	421 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology

General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	ATP + L-aspartate = ADP + 4-phospho-L-aspartate.
Enzyme regulation	Feedback inhibition by lysine and threonine.
Pathway	Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-lysine biosynthesis via DAP pathway; (S)-tetrahydrodipicolinate from L-aspartate: step 1/4. Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-methionine biosynthesis via de novo pathway; L-homoserine from L-aspartate: step 1/3. Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-threonine biosynthesis; L-threonine from L-aspartate: step 1/5.
Subunit structure	Tetramer consisting of 2 isoforms Alpha (catalytic) and 2 isoforms Beta (function not known).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the aspartokinase family. Contains 2 ACT domains.
Sequence caution	The sequence BAC17030.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
