EC 2.5.1.66 Details
EC number
2.5.1.66
Accepted name
N2-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthase
Reaction
D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + L-arginine = N2-(2-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine + phosphate
Other name(s)
CEAS, N2-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthetase, CEA synthetase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:L-arginine 2-N-(2-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl) transferase (2-carboxyethyl-forming)
Systematic name
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:L-arginine N2-(2-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl) transferase (2-carboxyethyl-forming)
CAS registry number
250207-48-8
Comment
The enzyme requires thiamine diphosphate and catalyses the first step in the clavulanic-acid-biosynthesis pathway. The 2-hydroxy-3-oxo group transferred from glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is isomerized during transfer to form the 2-carboxyethyl group.
