EC 4.1.99.19 Details
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.
