4.4.1.1
Description Cystathionine gamma-lyase
Alternative names Homoserine deaminase;
Homoserine dehydratase;
Gamma-cystathionase;
Cystine desulfhydrase;
Cysteine desulfhydrase (ambiguous);
Cystathionase;
Cystathioninase.
Catalyzed reaction L-cystathionine + H(2)O = L-cysteine + NH(3) + 2-oxobutanoate.
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments -!- Also catalyzes elimination reactions of L-homoserine to form H(2)O, NH(3) and 2-oxobutanoate, of L-cystine, producing thiocysteine, pyruvate and NH(3), and of L-cysteine producing pyruvate, NH(3) and H(2)S.
-!- Formerly EC 4.2.1.15.
Often, these enzymes also exhibit gamma-synthase activity (EC 2.5.1.48), making their exact classification difficult. Indeed, the gene from H. pylori has recently been assigned a gamma-synthase function.

The enzyme from Lactococcus lactis can carry out both an alpha,gamma-elimination and an alpha,beta-elimination reactions on cystathionine, hence in some database entries this gene is classified as cystathionine beta-lyase (EC 4.1.4.8)
