Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Keto-6-acetamidocaproate
Description2-Keto-6-acetamidocaproate is an intermediate in lysine degradation. It can be generated from N6-acetyl-L-lysine. N-acetyl-lysine is an acetylated amino acid. Post-translational lysine-acetylation is one of two major modifications of lysine residues in various proteins. Acetylation of specific lysine residues in the N-terminal domains of core histones is a biochemical marker of active genes. Acetylation is now known to play a major role in eukaryotic transcription. Specifically, acetyltransferase enzymes that act on particular lysine side chains of histones and other proteins are intimately involved in transcriptional activation. N6-acetyl-L-lysine can be converted to 2-Keto-6-acetamidocaproate via the enzyme N6-acetyllysine aminotransferase and then 2-keto-6-acetamidocaproate can be reduced enzymatically to 5-acetamidovalerate.
