Figure 1. DAP/L-lysine anabolic pathways.

Figure 1

The pathways are denoted by the acyl pathways (1), l,l-diaminopimelate aminotransferase pathway (2) and the meso-DAP dehydrogenase pathway (3). The abbreviations of the enzymes are as follows: tetrahydrodipicolinate acylase (DapD), acyl-amino-ketopimelate aminotransferase (DapC), acyl-ketopimelate deacylase (DapE), diaminopimelate epimerase (DapF), diaminopimelate decarboxylase (LysA), m-diaminopimelate dehydrogenase (Ddh) and l,l-diaminopimelate aminotransferase (DapL).
