show Brenda entry

EC number

4.3.1.31

Accepted name

L-tryptophan ammonia lyase

Reaction

L-tryptophan = 3-indoleacrylate + NH₃

Other name(s)

WAL

Systematic name

L-tryptophan ammonia-lyase (3-indoleacrylate-forming)

Comment

The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus JA2, requires no cofactors. It acts on L-phenylalanine and L-glutamate with about 60% of the activity with L-tryptophan, and on L-tyrosine, glycine, and L-alanine with about 30% of the activity.
