NCBI Protein Information
dihydrodipicolinate synthase
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein that likely has dihydropicolinate synthase activity based on its mutant phenotype of decreased lysine levels and increased aspartate levels. The mutant also has increased levels of threonine. The enzyme is predicted to localize to the chloroplast.
