ENZYME entry: EC 4.4.1.13

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/4.4.1.13
Accepted Name
cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase
Alternative Name(s)
alkylcysteine lyase
alkyl cysteine lyase
cystathionine beta-lyase
cystine lyase
L-cysteine-S-conjugate thiol-lyase (deaminating)
S-alkylcysteinase
S-alkylcysteine lyase
S-alkyl-L-cysteine lyase
S-alkyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide lyase
Reaction catalysed
an S-substituted L-cysteine + H2O = a thiol + pyruvate + NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein.
  • The enzyme is promiscuous regarding the moiety conjugated to L-cysteine, and can accept both aliphatic and aromatic substitutions.
  • The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing a thiol and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia.
  • While bacteria and plants have dedicated enzymes, all of the animal enzymes discovered thus far are bifunctional, most of which also act as aminotransferases.
  • Formerly EC 4.4.1.6 and EC 4.4.1.8.
