B6db activities: 2.5.1.49

2.5.1.49
Description O-acetylhomoserine (thiol)-lyase
Alternative names O-acetylhomoserine aminocarboxypropyltransferase;
Methionine synthase (ambiguous);
O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrylase;
OAH sulfhydrylase;
Homocysteine synthase;
Catalyzed reaction O-acetyl-L-homoserine + methanethiol = L-methionine + acetate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate
Comments -!- Also reacts with other thiols or H(2)S, producing homocysteine or thioethers.
-!- The name methionine synthase is more commonly applied to EC 2.1.1.13.
-!- An enzyme from baker's yeast also catalyzes the reaction of EC 2.5.1.47, more slowly.
Formerly 4.2.99.10
Prosite PROSITE; PDOC00677;
PDB 2CTZ; 4KAM;
Organisms -Eubacteria -Archea -Fungi
