FunFam 8: D-amino-acid transaminase, chloroplastic

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Aminodeoxychorismate lyase. [EC: 4.1.3.38]
4-amino-4-deoxychorismate = 4-aminobenzoate + pyruvate.
  • Forms part of the folate biosynthesis pathway.
  • Acts on 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate, the product of EC 2.6.1.85, to form p-aminobenzoate.

D-amino-acid transaminase. [EC: 2.6.1.21]
D-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = pyruvate + D-glutamate.
  • The enzyme from thermophilic Bacillus species acts on many D-amino acids with D-alanine and D-2-aminobutyrate as the best amino donors.
  • It can similarly use any of several 2-oxo acids as amino acceptor, with 2-oxoglutarate and 2-oxobutyrate among the best.
  • The enzyme from some other sources has a broader specificity.
  • Formerly EC 2.6.1.10.
