Abstract: Lysine is an essential amino acid, synthesized in plants in the aspartic acid pathway. The lysine catabolism is performed by the action of two consecutive enzymes, lysine 2-oxoglutarate reductase (LOR) and saccharopine dehydrogenase (SDH). The steady state of lysine is controlled by both, synthesis and catabolism rates, with the final soluble lysine concentration in cereal seeds a direct result of these processes. In the last 40 years, the enzymes involved in lysine biosynthesis have been purified and characte… Show more

“…The degradation of lysine plays a pivotal role in the proper functioning of the mammalian brain by synthesizing glutamate, which regulates signals of nerve transmission through glutamate receptors 42 . In response to various environmental changes and stress conditions, lysine catabolizes into glutamate and affects the growth, development, and other physiological processes in the plant body 43 . Presence of lysine in R. billardieri helps this species to grow successfully in exposed and brightly lit conditions.…”

“…DHDPS, the first enzyme directly involved in lysine biosynthesis, is strongly regulated by feedback inhibition by low concentrations of this amino acid and consequently plays the most important role in the regulation of lysine biosynthesis (17,28,29). DHDPS catalyzes the condensation of pyruvate and aspartate semialdehyde to dihydrodipicolinic acid, and has been purified and characterized in plants, exhibiting a molecular mass of 115 to 167 kDa (15,17).…”

“…Essential amino acids like lysine and threonine are particularly important in cereal crops, due to the low concentration in the seeds (Fornazier et al, 2003). These amino acids, plus methionine and isoleucine have a common precursor, aspartate (Azevedo and Lea, 2001).…”
