2.6.1.117
Description L-glutamine--4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate aminotransferase
Alternative names L-glutamine:4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate transaminase;
mtnE (gene name);
Solyc11g013170.1 (locus name)
Catalyzed reaction L-glutamine + 4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate = 2-oxoglutaramate + L-methionine
Cofactor Pyridoxal phosphate
Comments A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme, found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, catalyses the last reaction in a methionine salvage pathway. In mammals this activity is catalysed by the multifunctional glutamine transaminase K (cf. EC 2.6.1.64, glutamine–phenylpyruvate transaminase).
