EC 2.5.1.48 Details
EC number
2.5.1.48
Accepted name
cystathionine γ-synthase
Reaction
O4-succinyl-L-homoserine + L-cysteine = L-cystathionine + succinate
Other name(s)
O-succinyl-L-homoserine succinate-lyase (adding cysteine), O-succinylhomoserine (thiol)-lyase, homoserine O-transsuccinylase (ambiguous), O-succinylhomoserine synthase, O-succinylhomoserine synthetase, cystathionine synthase, cystathionine synthetase, homoserine transsuccinylase (ambiguous), 4-O-succinyl-L-homoserine:L-cysteine S-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)transferase
Systematic name
O4-succinyl-L-homoserine:L-cysteine S-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)transferase
CAS registry number
9030-70-0
Comment
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Also reacts with hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol as replacing agents, producing homocysteine and methionine, respectively. In the absence of thiol, can also catalyse β,γ-elimination to form 2-oxobutanoate, succinate and ammonia.
