description | This entry represents the lysine-2,3-aminomutase (LAM) family of proteins. LAM catalyses the interconversion of L-alpha-lysine and L-beta-lysine, which proceeds by migration of the amino group from C2 to C3 concomitant with cross-migration of the 3-pro-R hydrogen of L-alpha-lysine to the 2-pro-R position of L-beta-lysine. Glutamate 2,3-aminomutase is closely related to LAM, but can be distinguished by architecture (longer N-terminal region, shorter C-terminal region) and replacement of key lysine-binding residues []. Glutamate 2,3-aminomutase catalyses the interconversion of L-glutamate and L-beta-glutamate []. |
