ENZYME entry: EC 4.4.1.43

Accepted Name
canavanine-gamma-lyase
Reaction catalysed
H2O + L-canavanine <=> L-homoserine + N-hydroxyguanidine
Comment(s)
  • A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein.
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas canavaninivorans, cleaves a carbon-oxygen bond, releasing N-hydroxyguanidine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which is attacked by a water molecule to form L-homoserine.
