2.6.1.37
Description (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate--pyruvate aminotransferase
Alternative names (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate aminotransferase;
Ciliatine transaminase.
Catalyzed reaction (2-aminoethyl)phosphonate + pyruvate = 2-phosphonoacetaldehyde + L-alanine;
PhnW (gene name);
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
2-Aminoethylphosphonate (ciliatine) is the precursor of an array of phosphonate compounds (e.g., phosphonopolysaccharides), that are employed by some organisms for specialized functions such as chemical warfare, cell-cell communication and host recognition.
