2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate N-succinyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.117) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli are the (S) enantiomer of 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinic acid (1), succinyl-CoA, and water. Its products are (S)-2-succinylamino-6-oxoheptanedioic acid (2) and coenzyme A.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinyl-CoA:(S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate N-succinyltransferase. Other names in common use include tetrahydropicolinate succinylase, tetrahydrodipicolinate N-succinyltransferase, tetrahydrodipicolinate succinyltransferase, succinyl-CoA:tetrahydrodipicolinate N-succinyltransferase, succinyl-CoA:2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate, and N-succinyltransferase. This enzyme participates in lysine biosynthesis.[2]
