L-lysine:NAD+ 6-oxidoreductase (deaminating)

L-lysine + NAD+ = (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate + NADH + H+ + NH3 (overall reaction) [RN:R10054];
(1a) L-lysine + NAD+ + H2O = (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + NADH + H+ + NH3 [RN:R00446];
(1b) (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate = (S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine-2-carboxylate + H2O (spontaneous) [RN:R02317]

R00446 R02317 R10054
Reaction

L-lysine [CPD:C00047];
NAD+ [CPD:C00003];
H2O [CPD:C00001];
(S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate [CPD:C04076]

The enzyme is highly specific for L-lysine as substrate, although S-(2-aminoethyl)-L-cysteine can act as a substrate, but more slowly. While the enzyme from Agrobacterium tumefaciens can use only NAD+, that from the thermophilic bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus can also use NADP+, but more slowly [1,4].
