	4.1.99.1
Description	Tryptophanase
Alternative names	L-tryptophan indole-lyase; Tnase.
Catalyzed reaction	L-tryptophan + H(2)O = indole + pyruvate + NH(3).
Cofactor	Pyridoxal-phosphate; Potassium.
Comments	-!- Also catalyzes the synthesis of tryptophan from indole and serine. -!- Also catalyzes 2,3-elimination and beta-replacement reactions of some indole-substituted tryptophan analogs of L-cysteine, L-serine and other 3-substituted amino acids. -!-The E. coli enzyme shows a substantial L-cysteine desulfhydrase activity.
	Indole, the product of this enzyme, is a signal molecule in Escherichia coli and other bacteria. In particular, it can slow down cell division and act as an extracellular signal to regulate biofilm formation.
Prosite	PROSITE; PDOC00667;
