EC 1.2.1.95

Accepted name: L-2-aminoadipate reductase

Reaction: (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + NADP+ + AMP + diphosphate = L-2-aminoadipate + NADPH + H+ + ATP (overall reaction)
(1a) L-2-aminoadipyl-[LYS2 peptidyl-carrier-protein] + AMP + diphosphate = L-2-aminoadipate + holo-[LYS2 peptidyl-carrier-protein] + ATP
(1b) (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + holo-[LYS2 peptidyl-carrier-protein] + NADP+ = L-2-aminoadipyl-[LYS2 peptidyl-carrier-protein] + NADPH + H+

Glossary: L-2-aminoadipate = (2S)-2-aminohexanedioate

Other name(s): LYS2; α-aminoadipate reductase

Systematic name: (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (ATP-forming)

Comments: This enzyme, characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, catalyses the reduction of L-2-aminoadipate to (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate during L-lysine biosynthesis. An adenylation domain activates the substrate at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, and forms L-2-aminoadipate adenylate, which is attached to a peptidyl-carrier protein (PCP) domain. Binding of NADPH results in reductive cleavage of the acyl-S-enzyme intermediate, releasing (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate. Different from EC 1.2.1.31, L-aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, which catalyses a similar transformation in the opposite direction without ATP hydrolysis.
