ENZYME ASPARTOKINASE III HAVING A REDUCED L-LYSINE FEEDBACK INHIBITION

摘要

The present invention relates to methods and enzymes which are useful for producing L-lysine and L-threonine. In particular, the present invention provides a modified aspartokinase III enzyme with a reduced sensitivity to L-lysine feedback inhibition. The invention also provides methods for producing L-lysine and L-threonine which make use of the modified aspartokinase III enzyme. The invention also relates to the use of the modified aspartokinase III enzyme for producing L-lysine and L-threonine.
