ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.77
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Taurine--pyruvate aminotransferase.
|
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| Taurine + pyruvate <=> L-alanine + 2-sulfoacetaldehyde |
| Cofactor(s) |
|---|
| Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- The enzyme from Bilophila wadsworthia is reversible, and catalyzes
the first step of anaerobic taurine degradation.
- Hypotaurine (i.e. 2-aminoethanesulfinate) and beta-alanine are also
significant donors of an amino group.
- Unlike, EC 2.6.1.55, 2-oxoglutarate is not an acceptor of amino
groups.
