General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the first step of essential amino acids lysine, threonine, methionine and isoleucine synthesis via the aspartate-family pathway.

Catalytic activity

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

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and lysine in a synergistic manner. No inhibition by threonine, leucine or SAM alone, and no activation or inhibition by alanine, cysteine, isoleucine, serine, valine, methionine, glutamine, asparagine, glutamic acid or arginine. Ref.4 Ref.5

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

Homodimer. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Plastidchloroplast Potential.

Miscellaneous

Only one ACT domain (ACT1) is implicated in effector binding.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the aspartokinase family.

Contains 2 ACT domains.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

K(cat) is 23.4/sec.

KM=1700 µM for ATP

KM=2037 µM for aspartate
