* Dihydrodipicolinate reductase signature *
*******************************************

Dihydrodipicolinate reductase  (EC  1.3.1.26) catalyzes the second step in the
biosynthesis of  diaminopimelic  acid  and  lysine,  the NAD or NADP-dependent
reduction of 2,3-dihydrodipicolinate into 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate. This
enzyme is present in bacteria (gene dapB) and higher plants.

As a  signature  pattern we selected the best conserved region in this enzyme.
It is  located  in  the  central  section and is part of the substrate-binding
region [1].

-Consensus pattern: [ERND]-[IVL]-x-[ED]-x-H-x(3)-K-x-[DE]-x(2)-S-[GA]-[TAS]-
                    [ALCGS]
-Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
-Other sequence(s) detected in Swiss-Prot: NONE.
-Last update: December 2004 / Pattern and text revised.
