Enzyme Information
| 3.5.99.7 | 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase. based on mapping to UniProt Q7M523 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H(2)O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH(3). -!- The enzyme, found in certain soil bacteria and fungi, catalyzes the ring opening of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, the immediate precursor to ethylene, an important plant hormone that regulates fruit ripening and other processes. -!- The enzyme releases an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes spontaneous hydrolytic deamination. -!- The enzyme has been used to make fruit ripening dependent on externally added ethylene, as it removes the substrate for endogenous ethylene formation. -!- Formerly EC 4.1.99.4. |
