| Accepted name: |
valine amidinotransferase |
| Reaction: |
L-arginine + L-valine = N-amidino-L-valine + L-ornithine |
| Other name(s): |
ktmE (gene name); st-amdT (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
L-arginine:L-valine amidinotransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Salinispora tropica, participates in the biosynthesis of ketomemicins. In vitro the enzyme could use multiple other amino acids, including L-cysteine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-methionine, L-tyrosine, L-phenylalanine and L-tryptophan instead of L-valine. |
