Enzyme Information
| 4.4.1.2 | Homocysteine desulfhydrase. based on mapping to UniProt P13254 L-homocysteine + H(2)O = H(2)S + NH(3) + 2-oxobutanoate. -!- The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing hydrogen sulfide and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia. -!- The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10. | 
| 4.4.1.11 | Methionine gamma-lyase. based on mapping to UniProt P13254 L-methionine + H(2)O = methanethiol + NH(3) + 2-oxobutanoate. -!- The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing methanethiol and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia. -!- The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10. -!- The enzyme is involved in L-methionine catabolism. |
