MetaCyc Pathway: aminopropylcadaverine biosynthesis in Escherichia coli ECRC98

Lysine decarboxylase:
L-lysine + H⁺→cadaverine + CO₂ (EC 4.1.1.18)

Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase:
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + H⁺→S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine + CO₂ (EC 4.1.1.50)

JDDGAC_14065 (speD)

cadaverine + S-adenosyl 3-(methylsulfanyl)propylamine→aminopropylcadaverine + S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine + H⁺

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
