ENZYME entry: EC 4.5.1.2

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/4.5.1.2
Accepted Name
3-chloro-D-alanine dehydrochlorinase
Reaction catalysed
3-chloro-D-alanine + H2O = chloride + pyruvate + NH4(+) + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme cleaves a carbon-chlorine bond, releasing a chloride 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's activity can also result in beta-replacement reactions, e.g. in the presence of hydrogen sulfide it can convert 3-chloro-D- alanine into D-cysteine and chloride.
