EC 2.5.1.53 Details
EC number
2.5.1.53
Accepted name
uracilylalanine synthase
Reaction
O-acetyl-L-serine + uracil = 3-(uracil-1-yl)-L-alanine + acetate
Other name(s)
O3-acetyl-L-serine acetate-lyase (adding uracil), isowillardiine synthase, willardiine synthase, 3-O-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase, O3-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Systematic name
O-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
CAS registry number
113573-73-2
Comment
The enzyme produces the non-proteinogenic amino acid L-willardiine, which is naturally found in the plants Acacia willardiana, Mimosa pigra, and Pisum sativum (pea). The enzyme from Pisum species also produces L-isowillardiine. Not identical with EC 2.5.1.47 cysteine synthase.
