Description |
Histidine racemase |
Catalyzed reaction |
L-histidine = D-histidine |
Cofactor |
Pyridoxal phosphate or no cofactor |
Comments |
The enzyme characterized from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is PLP-independent and participates in the biosynthesis of the metallophore staphylopine, which is involved in the acquisition of nickel, copper, and cobalt. |
|
A peculiar PLP-dependent His racemase was found only in lactic acid bacteria of the genus Leuconostoc. |
