FunFam 63148: Aminotransferase class-III family protein

There are 12 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

    Taurine--pyruvate aminotransferase. [EC: 2.6.1.77]
    Taurine + pyruvate = L-alanine + 2-sulfoacetaldehyde.
    • The enzyme from Bilophila wadsworthia catalyzes a reversible reaction that starts an anaerobic taurine degradation pathway.
    • beta-alanine is also a significant amino group donor.
    • The enzyme from the bacterium Pseudomonas denitrificans PD1222 can also use hypotaurine, producing 2-sulfinoacetaldehyde, which spontaneously hydrolyzes to sulfite and acetaldehyde.
    • Unlike EC 2.6.1.55, 2-oxoglutarate cannot serve as an acceptor for the amino group.

    4-aminobutyrate--pyruvate transaminase. [EC: 2.6.1.96]
    (1) 4-aminobutanoate + pyruvate = succinate semialdehyde + L-alanine. (2) 4-aminobutanoate + glyoxylate = succinate semialdehyde + glycine.
    • The enzyme is found in plants that do not have the 2-oxoglutarate dependent enzyme (cf. EC 2.6.1.19).
    • The reaction with pyruvate is reversible while the reaction with glyoxylate only takes place in the forward direction.

    4-aminobutyrate--2-oxoglutarate transaminase. [EC: 2.6.1.19]
    4-aminobutanoate + 2-oxoglutarate = succinate semialdehyde + L-glutamate.
    • Some preparations also act on beta-alanine, 5-aminopentanoate and (R,S)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate.

    Lysine--8-amino-7-oxononanoate transaminase. [EC: 2.6.1.105]
    L-lysine + 8-amino-7-oxononanoate = (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate + 7,8- diaminononanoate.
    • Participates in the pathway for biotin biosynthesis.
    • The enzyme from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis cannot use S-adenosyl-L-methionine as amino donor and catalyzes an alternative reaction for the conversion of 8-amino-7-oxononanoate to 7,8- diaminononanoate (cf. EC 2.6.1.62).
    • Formerly EC 2.6.1.n2.
