Times Cited Count:2 Percentile:10.84(Biochemistry & Molecular Biology)The radioresistant bacterium is evolutionarily closely related to the themophilic bacterium . These bacteria have a single gene encoding an aspartate kinase (AK). has an aminoadipate pathway for lysine biosynthesis, which does not use AK. Phylogenetic analysis showed that AK had different protein structure and different evolutionary history from AK. Disruption analysis of AK indicated that AK was not used for lysine biosynthesis but for threonine and methionine biosyntheses. Thus these two AKs have different evolutionary origins, but their functions are not different.

The extremely radioresistant bacterium has the related homologous genes to bacterial lysine biosyntheses both through the aminoadipate pathway and the diaminopimelate pathway. We disrupted and/or . The is homologous to that is essential for the aminoadipate pathway. The is homologous to that is essential for the diaminopimelate pathway. Each disruptant of , , and and grew in a minimal medium, as well as wild-type. This result shows that employs a unique way for lysine biosynthesis.
