EC 2.5.1.49 Details
EC number
2.5.1.49
Accepted name
O-acetylhomoserine aminocarboxypropyltransferase
Reaction
O-acetyl-L-homoserine + methanethiol = L-methionine + acetate
Other name(s)
O-acetyl-L-homoserine acetate-lyase (adding methanethiol), O-acetyl-L-homoserine sulfhydrolase, O-acetylhomoserine (thiol)-lyase, O-acetylhomoserine sulfhydrolase, methionine synthase (misleading)
Systematic name
O-acetyl-L-homoserine:methanethiol 3-amino-3-carboxypropyltransferase
CAS registry number
37290-90-7
Comment
Also reacts with other thiols and H2S, producing homocysteine or thioethers. The name methionine synthase is more commonly applied to EC 2.1.1.13, methionine synthase. The enzyme from baker’s yeast also catalyses the reaction of EC 2.5.1.47 cysteine synthase, but more slowly.
History
