N²-citryl-N⁶-acetyl-N⁶-hydroxylysine synthase

Template:Infobox enzyme N²-citryl-N⁶-acetyl-N⁶-hydroxylysine synthase (Template:EnzExplorer, N(alpha)-citryl-N(epsilon)-acetyl-N(epsilon)-hydroxylysine synthase, iucA (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name citrate:N⁶-acetyl-N⁶-hydroxy-L-lysine ligase (ADP-forming).^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2 ATP + citrate + N⁶-acetyl-N⁶-hydroxy-L-lysine + H₂O

⇌

2 ADP + 2 phosphate + N²-citryl-N⁶-acetyl-N⁶-hydroxy-L-lysine

This enzyme requires Mg²⁺.
