4.1.3.14 |
Accepted name: |
L-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate aldolase |
Reaction: |
L-erythro-3-hydroxy-aspartate = glycine + glyoxylate |
Other name(s): |
L-erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate aldolase; L-erythro-β-hydroxyaspartate glycine-lyase; erythro-3-hydroxy-Ls-aspartate glyoxylate-lyase |
Systematic name: |
L-erythro-3-hydroxy-aspartate glyoxylate-lyase (glycine-forming) |
Comments: |
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Paracoccus denitrificans NCIMB 8944, is strictly specific for the L-erythro stereoisomer of 3-hydroxyaspartate. Different from EC 4.1.3.41, erythro-3-hydroxy-D-aspartate aldolase. Requires a divalent cation. |
