Catalyzes the decarboxylative condensation of pimeloyl- CoA and L-alanine to produce 8-amino-7-oxononanoate (AON), coenzyme A, and carbon dioxide. It also converts 2-amino-3- ketobutyrate to glycine and acetyl-CoA. Activity is also observed with the following combinations of substrates: acetyl-CoA and either L-alanine or L-serine, pimeloyl-CoA and either glycine or L-serine, and palmitoyl-CoA with L-alanine. 7-keto-8-amino-pelargonic acid synthase MSLDLRARVREELERLKREGLYISPKVLEAPQEPVTRVEGREVVNLASNNYLGFANHPYLKEKARQYLEKWGAGSGAVRTIAGTFTYHVELEEALARFKGTESALVLQSGFTANQGVLGALLKEGDVVFSDELNHASIIDGLRLTKATRLVFRHADVAHLEELLKAHDTDGLKLIVTDGVFSMDGDIAPLDKIVPLAKKYKAVVYVDDAHGSGVLGEKGKGTVHHFGFHQDPDVVQVATLSKAWAGIGGYAAGARELKDLLINKARPFLFSTSHPPAVVGALLGALELIEKEPERVERLWENTRYFKRELARLGYDTLGSQTPITPVLFGEAPLAFEASRLLLEEGVFAVGIGFPTVPRGKARIRNIVTAAHTKEMLDKALEAYEKVGKRLGIIR BIKB_THET8 Alpha-oxoamine synthase TTHA1582 8-amino-7-ketopelargonate synthase Glycine acetyltransferase 8-amino-7-oxononanoate synthase/2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase L-alanine--pimeloyl-CoA ligase TTHA1582 395
