2.6.1.79
Description Glutamate--prephenate aminotransferase
Alternative names prephenate transaminase (ambiguous);
PAT (ambiguous);
L-glutamate:prephenate aminotransferase;
L-arogenate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase.
Catalyzed reaction L-arogenate + 2-oxoglutarate = prephenate + L-glutamate
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Aspartate can also act as the amino donor, but more slowly (cf. EC 2.6.1.78, aspartate--prephenate aminotransferase).
The enzyme from higher plants shows a marked preference for prephenate as substrate compared to pyruvate, phenylpyruvate or 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate.
In bacteria, the reaction is carried out (as a promiscuous activity) by enzymes with aspartate aminotransferase, branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase and N-succinyldiaminopymelate aminotransferase activities.
