ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.80

Accepted Name
nicotianamine aminotransferase
Alternative Name(s)
NAAT
NAAT-I
NAAT-II
NAAT-III
nicotianamine transaminase
Reaction catalysed
2-oxoglutarate + nicotianamine <=> 3''-deamino-3''-oxonicotianamine + L-glutamate
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme is produced by grasses.
  • They secrete both the nicotianamine and the transaminated product into the soil around them.
  • Both compounds chelate Fe(2+) and Fe(3+); these chelators, called mugineic acid family phytosiderophores, are taken up by the grass, which is thereby supplied with iron.
