PROSITE documentation PDOC01000
Dihydrodipicolinate reductase signature


Description

Dihydrodipicolinate reductase (EC 1.3.1.26) catalyzes the second step in the biosynthesis of diaminopimelic acid and lysine, the NAD or NADP-dependent reduction of 2,3-dihydrodipicolinate into 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate. This enzyme is present in bacteria (gene dapB) and higher plants.

As a signature pattern we selected the best conserved region in this enzyme. It is located in the central section and is part of the substrate-binding region [1].
