Enzyme Information
| 4.4.1.13 | Cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase. based on mapping to UniProt P53780 An L-cysteine-S-conjugate + H(2)O = RSH + NH(3) + pyruvate. -!- A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein. -!- The enzyme is promiscuous regarding the moiety conjugated to L-cysteine, and can accept both aliphatic and aromatic substitutions. -!- The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing a thiol and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. -!- While bacteria and plants have dedicated enzymes, all of the animal enzymes discovered thus far are bifunctional, most of which also act as aminotransferases. -!- Formerly EC 4.4.1.6 and EC 4.4.1.8. |
