4.4.1.35
Description L-cystine β-lyase
Alternative names cystine C-S lyase;
C-DES.
Catalyzed reaction L-cystine + H(2)O = L-thiocysteine + pyruvate + NH(3) (overall reaction)
(1a) L-cystine = L-thiocysteine + 2-aminoprop-2-enoate
(1b) 2-aminoprop-2-enoate = 2-iminopropanoate (spontaneous)
(1c) 2-iminopropanoate + H2O = pyruvate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing L-thiocysteine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. The enzyme from Brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli) does not act on cysteine or cystathionine.
Different from cysteine desulfurase (EC 2.8.1.7), in that the favorite substrate is cystine and the product persulfide is not protein-bound.

The reaction is carried out also by cystathionine beta-lyase (EC 4.4.1.8).

Cystine lyase enzymes have been described in cyanobacteria (C-DES) and in plants.
