Cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase
In enzymology, a cysteine-S-conjugate beta-lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, RS-CH2-CHCOO-, but 3 products: RSH, NH3, and pyruvate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-sulfur lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-cysteine-S-conjugate thiol-lyase . Other names in common use include cysteine conjugate beta-lyase, glutamine transaminase K/cysteine conjugate beta-lyase, and L-cysteine-S-conjugate thiol-lyase . It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes,, and.
