We recently discovered a biosynthetic system using a novel amino group carrier protein called LysW for lysine biosynthesis via α-aminoadipate (AAA), and revealed that this system is also utilized in the biosynthesis of arginine by Sulfolobus In the present study, we focused on the biosynthesis of lysine and ornithine in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis, and showed that their biosynthesis is accomplished by a single set of metabolic enzymes. We also determined the crystal ...[more]
