LITERATURE
physiological function
-
growth on L-lysine as a nitrogen source can be enhanced when the aruH gene encoding an arginine/lysine:pyruvate transaminase is expressed constitutively from plasmids. The AruH gene product cannot substítute for loss of lysine decarboxylase A, indicating a minor role of this transaminase in L-lysine catabolism
