abstract L-threo-3-Hydroxyaspartate dehydratase (L-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate hydro-lyase), which exhibited specificity for L-threo-3- hydroxyaspartate (K(m)=0.74 mM, V(max)=37.5 micromol min(-1) (mg protein)(-1)) but not for D-threo or D, L-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate, was purified from a cell-free extract of Pseudomonas sp. T62. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by hydroxylamine and EDTA, which suggests that pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and divalent cations participate in the enzyme reaction. The NH(2)-terminal amino acid sequence showed significant similarity to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae YKL218c gene product, a hypothetical threonine dehydratase. However, the purified enzyme showed no threonine dehydratase activity.
