EC 3.5.99.7 Details
EC number
3.5.99.7
Accepted name
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase
Reaction
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 (overall reaction);;(1a) 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate = 2-aminobut-2-enoate;;(1b) 2-aminobut-2-enoate = 2-iminobutanoate (spontaneous);;(1c) 2-iminobutanoate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate endolyase (deaminating), ACC deaminase, 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid deaminase
Systematic name
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate aminohydrolase (isomerizing)
CAS registry number
69553-48-6
Comment
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme. The enzyme, found in certain soil bacteria and fungi, catalyses the ring opening of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, the immediate precursor to ethylene, an important plant hormone that regulates fruit ripening and other processes. The enzyme releases an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. The enzyme has been used to make fruit ripening dependent on externally added ethylene, as it removes the substrate for endogenous ethylene formation.
