ENZYME entry: EC 4.4.1.35

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/4.4.1.35
Accepted Name
L-cystine beta-lyase
Reaction catalysed
L-cystine + H2O = S-sulfanyl-L-cysteine + pyruvate + NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing L-thiocysteine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia.
  • The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10.
  • The enzyme from Brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli) does not act on cysteine or cystathionine.
