ENZYME entry: EC 4.3.1.19

Accepted Name
Threonine ammonia-lyase.
Alternative Name(s)
L-serine dehydratase.
L-threonine deaminase.
L-threonine dehydratase.
L-threonine hydro-lyase (deaminating).
Serine deaminase.
Threonine deaminase.
Threonine dehydrase.
Threonine dehydratase.
Reaction catalysed
L-threonine <=> 2-oxobutanoate + NH(3)
Cofactor(s)
Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate or iron-sulfur.
Comment(s)
  • The reaction catalyzed by both types of enzymes involves the initial elimination of water to form an enamine intermediate (hence the enzyme's original classification as EC 4.2.1.16), followed by tautomerization to an imine form and hydrolysis of the C-N bond.
  • The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, is also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10.
  • The enzymes from a number of sources also act on L-serine, cf. EC 4.3.1.17.
  • Formerly EC 4.2.1.16.
