Cook, Lilian Chooback The amino acid L-lysine is synthesized inSaccharomyces cerevisiaevia the α-aminoadipate pathway. An as yet unidentified PLP-containing aminotransferase is thought to catalyze the formation of α-aminoadipate from α-ketoadipate in the L-lysine biosynthetic pathway that could be the yeastAro8gene product.
