General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the interconversion of L-alpha-lysine and L-beta-lysine. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5

Catalytic activity

L-lysine = (3S)-3,6-diaminohexanoate. Ref.2

Cofactor

Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit. The cluster is coordinated with 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8

Pyridoxal phosphate. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8

Binds 1 Co2+ ion per subunit. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8

Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.8

Enzyme regulation

The enzyme is activated by S-adenosyl-methionine. Activity is dependent on the levels of Fe2+, S2- and Co2+. Activity is stimulated by addition of EDTA. S-adenosylhomocysteine competitively inhibits the activity whereas 5'-methylthioadenosine is not inhibitory in the presence of S-adenosylmethionine. Competitively inhibited by 4-thialysine. Inhibited by sodium borohydride (1 mM) when added with 2 mM dithionate. Moderately inhibited by beta-mercaptoethanol (30 mM) along with dithionate. Higher concentrations of Fe2+ partially inhibit the activity and Co2+ at 1 mM is a strong inhibitor. Hydroxylamine, isonicotinic acid hydrazide inhibit effectively, in addition, hydrazine, D-penicillamine and D-cycloserine are also inhibitory at high concentrations. Ref.2 Ref.4 Ref.6

Pathway

Amino-acid degradation; L-lysine degradation via acetate pathway.

Subunit structure

Homohexamer; trimer of dimers. Forms a homotetramer in crystal. Ref.3

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the radical SAM superfamily. KamA family.

Biophysicochemical properties

Kinetic parameters:

KM=6.6 µM for L-lysine Ref.2 Ref.5 Ref.6

KM=28 nM for adenosylmethionine

KM=1.4 mM for 4-thialysine

Vmax=0.19 µmol/min/mg enzyme with 4-thialysine as substrate (at 37 degrees Celsius and pH 8)

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 8.0. Displays half maximal activity between pH 6.0 and 9.8.

Redox potential:

E0 is between -336 and -370 mV for 4Fe-4S cluster.

Temperature dependence:

Optimum temperature is 37 degrees Celsius. It has strong activity at 37 degrees Celsius but is reversibly inactivated in temperatures between 37 and 65 degrees Celsius. Minimal loss of activity is observed in enzyme stored at -10 degrees Celsius in the presence of 15% glycerol.
