ENZYME entry: EC 4.8.1.1

Accepted Name
L-piperazate synthase
Reaction catalysed
N(5)-hydroxy-L-ornithine <=> (3S)-1,2-diazinane-3-carboxylate + H(+) + H2O
Comment(s)
  • Contains a heme b cofactor.
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Kutzneria sp. 744, is one of very few enzymes known to result in the formation of an N-N bond.
  • (3S)-1,2-diazinane-3-carboxylate (piperazate) is known to be incorporated into assorted secondary products that are produced by nonribosomal peptide synthetase or nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase hybrid pathways, such as the kutznerides, padanamides, himastatins, and sanglifehrins.
