Reaction

4.3.3.7	pyruvate + L-aspartate-4-semialdehyde = (2S,4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydrodipicolinate + H2O	the reaction is initiated by an nucleophilic attack of the epsilon-amino group of active site lysine to the C2 atom of pyruvate with subsequent imine formation. Tautomerization of the imine to the enamine creates the nucleophile necessary for the attack of the aldehyde group of L-aspartate semialdehyde. Cyclization of the substrate coupled with transamination leads to stepwise detachment from the active site	Nicotiana sylvestris	a
