- The enzyme, found in certain soil bacteria and fungi, catalyzes the
ring opening of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, the immediate
precursor to ethylene, an important plant hormone that regulates
fruit ripening and other processes.
- The enzyme releases an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to
an imine form, which undergoes spontaneous hydrolytic deamination.
- The enzyme has been used to make fruit ripening dependent on
externally added ethylene, as it removes the substrate for endogenous
ethylene formation.
- Formerly EC 4.1.99.4.
