ID 4.3.1.20 DE erythro-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate ammonia-lyase. AN 3-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase. AN erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase. AN erythro-3-hydroxy-Ls-aspartate hydro-lyase (deaminating). AN erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase. CA (3R)-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate = NH4(+) + oxaloacetate. CC -!- The enzyme, which was characterized from the bacterium Paracoccus CC denitrificans NCIMB 8944, is highly specific for the L-isomer of CC erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate. CC -!- Different from EC 4.3.1.16 and EC 4.3.1.27. CC -!- Requires a divalent cation such as Mn(2+), Mg(2+), or Ca(2+). CC -!- Formerly EC 4.2.1.38. //
