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. |
