EC 4.1.99.19 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

4.1.99.19

Accepted name

2-iminoacetate synthase

Reaction

L-tyrosine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + NADPH = 2-iminoacetate + 4-methylphenol + 5′-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine + NADP⁺ + H⁺

Other name(s)

thiH (gene name)

Systematic name

L-tyrosine 4-methylphenol-lyase (2-iminoacetate-forming)

Comment

Binds a [4Fe-4S] cluster that is coordinated by 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine molecule. The first stage of catalysis is reduction of the S-adenosyl-L-methionine to produce methionine and a 5-deoxyadenosin-5-yl radical that is crucial for the conversion of the substrate. The reductant is assumed to be NADPH, which is provided by a flavoprotein:NADPH oxidoreductase system [4]. Part of the pathway for thiamine biosynthesis.
