General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the first two steps in lysine degradation. The N-terminal and the C-terminal contain lysine-oxoglutarate reductase and saccharopine dehydrogenase activity, respectively. Negatively regulates free Lys accumulation in seeds. Ref.1 Ref.2 Ref.9 |
| Catalytic activity | N(6)-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine + NADP+ + H2O = L-lysine + 2-oxoglutarate + NADPH. N(6)-(L-1,3-dicarboxypropyl)-L-lysine + NAD+ + H2O = L-glutamate + (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + NADH. |
| Enzyme regulation | The LKR activity is stimulated by NaCl. Ref.10 |
| Pathway | |
| Subunit structure | Homodimer. Ref.10 |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | Ubiquitous, with higher levels in flowers. Isoform Long is mostly present in young leaves, cotyledons, root tips and mature root parts. Whereas isoform Short is mostly expressed in cotyledons and at low levels in all root parts. Ref.1 Ref.12 |
| Developmental stage | In flowers, confined to ovules and vascular tissue of anther filament. In developing and mature seeds, expressed in embryo and the outer layers of the endosperm. Ref.1 |
| Induction | Lysine, Sugar starvation, ABA and MeJA induce isoform Long, but not isoform Short (at protein level). Nitrogen starvation repress isoform Long, but not isoform Short (at protein level). Isoform Long and isoform Short are both slightly induced by NaCl and drought stress, but repressed by sugars. Ref.10 Ref.11 Ref.12 |
| Post-translational modification | Phosphorylation of Ser-458 seems important for the LKR activity. |
| Sequence similarities | In the N-terminal section; belongs to the AlaDH/PNT family. In the C-terminal section; belongs to the saccharopine dehydrogenase family. |
| Biophysicochemical properties | Kinetic parameters: KM=5.180 mM for lysine (isoform Long at pH 7.5 and 30 degrees Celsius) Ref.8 KM=0.272 mM for alpha-ketoglutarate (isoform Long at pH 7.5 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.044 mM for NADPH (isoform Long at pH 7.5 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.063 mM for saccharopine (isoform Long at pH 7 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.035 mM for saccharopine (isoform Long at pH 9 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.130 mM for saccharopine (isoform Short at pH 7 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.050 mM for saccharopine (isoform Short at pH 9 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.374 mM for NAD (isoform Long at pH 7 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.698 mM for NAD (isoform Long at pH 9 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.333 mM for NAD (isoform Short at pH 7 and 30 degrees Celsius) KM=0.759 mM for NAD (isoform Short at pH 9 and 30 degrees Celsius) pH dependence: Optimum pH is 7.5 for LKR activity of isoform Long, and 9 for SDH activity of both isoforms Long and Short. |
| Sequence caution | The sequence AAK64010.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. The sequence AAK97099.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Chimeric cDNA. Its C-terminal part is derived from gene At1G61240, which coded for a protein of unknown function. Was originally thought to be an alternative splicing form of At4g33150. The sequence AAM16268.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. |
