4.3.1.18
Description D-serine ammonia-lyase
Alternative names D-serine dehydratase;
D-serine dehydrase;
D-hydroxy amino acid dehydratase;
D-serine hydrolase;
D-serine dehydratase (deaminating);
D-serine deaminase;
D-serine hydro-lyase (deaminating).
Catalyzed reaction D-serine = pyruvate + NH(3).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate or Zn(II) ions plus pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments Also acts, slowly, on D-threonine.
The reaction catalyzed probably involves initial elimination of water (hence the enzyme's original classification as EC 4.2.1.14),followed by isomerization and hydrolysis of the product with C-N bond breakage.
Formerly EC 4.2.1.14.
The enzyme from E. coli is a fold-type II protein, whereas the D-ser dehydratase from S. cerevisiae is a fold-type III enzyme and employs zinc ions as cofactors, in addition to pyridoxal phosphate.
