abstract The results of studies on the substrate specificities of elimination and replacement reactions allowed insight into the active and regulatory sites of Streptomyces phaeochromogenes cystathionine gamma- lyase (L-cystathionine cysteine-lyase (deaminating), EC 4.4.1.1). The enzyme has an active site and a regulatory site. The active site consists of two subsites; one recognizes the L-forms of amino acids (L- homoserine and L-moieties of cystathionine isomers) and the other shows affinity for thiol compounds with a carboxyl group. The regulatory site is specific for L-cysteine and has no affinity for ordinary thiol compounds, such as 3-mercaptopropionate and thioglycolate.
