DE   canavanine-gamma-lyase.
CA   H2O + L-canavanine = L-homoserine + N-hydroxyguanidine.
CC   -!- A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas
CC       canavaninivorans, cleaves a carbon-oxygen bond, releasing
CC       N-hydroxyguanidine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes
CC       to an imine form, which is attacked by a water molecule to form
CC       L-homoserine.
