SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for LYS12

About lysine biosynthesis

S. cerevisiae synthesizes the essential amino acid L-lysine via the L-alpha-aminoadipic acid pathway instead of the diaminopmelate pathway (3). Originally proposed to be characteristic of fungi, recent studies suggest prokaryotes also synthesize lysine via the alpha-aminoadipic acid pathway (4). Intermediates in this pathway are often incorporated into secondary metabolites. For example, it has been well- studied that alpha-aminoadipate is required for penicillin production (3). Regulation of the lysine biosynthetic pathway in S. cerevisiae is an interaction between general amino acid control (via Gcn4p) (5), feedback inhibition of homocitrate synthase activity by lysine (6), and induction of Lys14p by alpha-aminoadipate semialdehyde (7).
