| Description | Dihydrodipicolinate reductase (DHDPR), a product of an essential gene referred to as dapB, catalyzes the second step of lysine biosynthesis [ , ]. It catalyses the reduction of 2,3-dihydrodipicolinate (DHDP) to 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate (THDP) in a nucleotide dependent reaction []:2,3-dihydrodipicolinate + NAD(P)H = 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate + NAD(P)(+)Interestingly, DHDPR could also function as a dehydratase in addition to the role of a nucleotide dependent reductase [ ]. | Name | Dihydrodipicolinate reductase |
| Short Name | DHDPR_bac | Type | Family |
