| Comments | The enzyme from the archaeon?Methanocaldococcus jannaschii?contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster and is specific for?L-cysteine (cf. EC?4.4.1.1, cystathionine ¦Ã-lyase). It cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond releasing sulfide and the unstable enamine product 2-aminoprop-2-enoate that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. The same reaction can also be catalysed by some pyridoxal-phosphate proteins (cf. EC?4.4.1.1, cystathionine ¦Ã-lyase). |
