ID   4.4.1.11
DE   methionine gamma-lyase.
AN   L-methioninase.
AN   methionine lyase.
CA   L-methionine + H2O = methanethiol + 2-oxobutanoate + NH4(+).
CC   -!- The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing methanethiol and
CC       an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which
CC       undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form 2-oxobutanoate and
CC       ammonia.
CC   -!- The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be
CC       catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10.
CC   -!- The enzyme is involved in L-methionine catabolism.
