L-lysine catabolism through 5-aminovalerate

A reusable four-reaction Dav pathway that converts L-lysine to glutarate through 5-aminopentanamide, 5-aminopentanoate (5-aminovalerate), and 5-oxopentanoate (glutarate semialdehyde). The module represents the DavB, DavA, DavT, and DavD reaction roles independently of genomic organization. Downstream CoA-dependent and CoA-independent routes from glutarate to central metabolism are outside the boundary.

Exact UniProt exemplars delimit the four reaction roles without restricting the module taxonomically. The PANTHER assignments are broad fold-level containers and are constrained here by the leaf molecular functions rather than treated as reaction-specific evidence. No ancestral PTN node is asserted without verified PAINT IBD evidence. Glutarate degradation after DavD is modeled separately.
