Type III Pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-Dependent Enzyme Diaminopimelate Decarboxylase. Diaminopimelate decarboxylase (DapDC, EC 4.1.1.20) participates in the last step of lysine biosynthesis. It converts meso-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate to L-lysine. It is a fold type III PLP-dependent enzyme that contains an N-terminal PLP-binding TIM-barrel domain and a C-terminal beta-sandwich domain, similar to bacterial alanine racemases. DapDC exists as homodimers with active sites that lie at the interface between the TIM barrel domain of one subunit and the beta-sandwich domain of the other subunit. Homodimer formation and the presence of the PLP cofactor are required for catalytic activity.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
