The aspartate family pathway leading to lysine, methionine and threonine. Key enzymes and amino acids in the pathway are specified. Inserts are the relative expression level of OsDHPS, OsDAPD, OsLRK/SDH, OsCGS, OsMGL, OsTS, and OsTD in PA110 and wild-type at 5 DAF and 15 DAF. Abbreviations: AK, aspartate kinase; DHPS, dihydrodipicolinate synthase; HSD, homoserine dehydrogenase; DAPD, diaminopimelate decarboxylase; LKR, Lys-ketoglutarate reductase; SDH, saccharopine dehydrogenase; CGS, cystathionine γ-synthase; TS, threonine synthase; MGL, methionine γ-lyase; TD, threonine dehydratase. Solid arrows indicate the flow of metabolic processes. Arrows with dashed lines indicate allosteric product feedback inhibition [Modified from [6, 18]]
