Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
L-kynurenine + H2O = anthranilate + L-alanine the proposed mechanism of the retro-Claisen reaction requires extensive acid/base catalysis, the phosphate of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is an acid/base catalyst in the mechanism of Pseudomonas fluorescens kynureninase, Tyr226 hydrogen bonds to the phosphate of the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate cofactor. Tyr226 mediates proton transfer between the substrate and the phosphate, which accelerates formation of external aldimine and gem-diol intermediates, catalytic reaction mechanism via several intermediates, e.g. external aldimine, quinonoid, ketimine, Gem-diolate, and enamine, overview Pseudomonas fluorescens
