2.6.1.80 |
Description |
Nicotianamine aminotransferase |
Alternative names |
NAAT; NAAT-I; NAAT-II; NAAT-III. |
Catalyzed reaction |
Nicotianamine + 2-oxoglutarate = 3"-deamino-3"-oxonicotianamine + L-glutamate |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
Comments |
This enzyme is produced by grasses. They secrete both the nicotianamine and the transaminated product into the soil around them. Both compounds chelate iron(II) and iron(III); these chelators, called mugineic acid family phytosiderophores, are taken up by the grass, which is thereby supplied with iron. |
|
Available at least two characterized sequences (both from Hordeum vulgare).
This enzyme activity is apparently missing in plants other than graminaceous. |
