EC 4.4.1.35 Details
EC number
4.4.1.35
Accepted name
L-cystine β-lyase
Reaction
L-cystine + H2O = L-thiocysteine + pyruvate + NH3 (overall reaction);;(1a) L-cystine = L-thiocysteine + 2-aminoprop-2-enoate;;(1b) 2-aminoprop-2-enoate = 2-iminopropanoate (spontaneous);;(1c) 2-iminopropanoate + H2O = pyruvate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
CORI3 (gene name)
Systematic name
L-cystine thiocysteine-lyase (deaminating; pyruvate-forming)
Comment
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing L-thiocysteine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. The enzyme from Brassica oleracea var. italica (broccoli) does not act on cysteine or cystathionine.
