4-chloro-allylglycine synthase

UniProtKB accession:  F8JJ25

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of terminal alkyne-containing amino acids such as L-propargylglycine (Pra) and L-beta-ethynylserine, that are produced as antibiotics by S.cattleya. Catalyzes an oxidative C-C bond cleavage in 4-chloro-L-lysine to form 4-chloro-allyl-L-glycine (also named L-2-amino-4-chloropent-4-enoate), with release of formaldehyde and ammonia. Is also able to react with L-lysine directly to produce allylglycine in vitro.
