EC 4.3.1.13 Details
EC number
4.3.1.13
Accepted name
carbamoyl-serine ammonia-lyase
Reaction
O-carbamoyl-L-serine + H2O = pyruvate + 2 NH3 + CO2 (overall reaction);;(1a) O-carbamoyl-L-serine = CO2 + NH3 + 2-aminoprop-2-enoate;;(1b) 2-aminoprop-2-enoate = 2-iminopropanoate (spontaneous);;(1c) 2-iminopropanoate + H2O = pyruvate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
O-carbamoyl-L-serine deaminase, carbamoylserine deaminase, O-carbamoyl-L-serine ammonia-lyase (pyruvate-forming)
Systematic name
O-carbamoyl-L-serine ammonia-lyase (decarboxylating; pyruvate-forming)
CAS registry number
52227-64-2
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme cleaves a carbon-oxygen bond, releasing CO2, ammonia, and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and a second ammonia molecule. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase.
