The reaction is observed only in the direction of glycine reduction. The enzyme consists of three protein components A, B and C. Protein B contains selenocysteine and a pyruvoyl group, and is responsible for glycine binding and ammonia release. Protein A, which also contains selenocysteine, is reduced by thioredoxin, and is needed to convert the carboxymethyl group into a ketene equivalent, in turn used by protein C to produce acetyl phosphate. Only protein B distinguishes this enzyme from EC 1.21.4.3 (sarcosine reductase) and EC 1.21.4.4 (betaine reductase) |
