CoA [CPD:C00010];
(3S)-6-acetamido-3-aminohexanoate [CPD:C21604]
Comment
The enzyme is found in some methanogenic archaea and bacteria. In archaea it is induced under salt stress. The product, N6-acetyl-beta-L-lysine, serves as a compatible solute, conferring high salt resistance on the producing organisms.
