IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.5.1.132

Accepted name: [amino group carrier protein]-ornithine hydrolase

Reaction: [amino group carrier protein]-C-terminal-γ-(L-ornithyl)-L-glutamate + H2O = [amino group carrier protein]-C-terminal-L-glutamate + L-ornithine

Other name(s): lysK (gene name)

Systematic name: [amino group carrier protein]-C-terminal-γ-L-ornithyl-L-glutamate amidohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme participates in an L-arginine biosynthetic pathways in certain species of archaea and bacteria. In all cases known so far the enzyme also catalyses the activity of EC 3.5.1.130, [amino group carrier protein]-lysine hydrolase.
