4.1.99.19 | L-tyrosine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine + NADPH = 2-iminoacetate + 4-methylphenol + 5'-deoxyadenosine + L-methionine + NADP+ + H+ |
ThiH is a member of the radical-S-adenosyl-L-methionine family. Proposed mechanism of ThiH-dependent cleavage of L-tyrosine: S-adenosyl-L-methionine is reductively cleaved to yield a highly reactive 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical. This radical is proposed to abstract the phenolic hydrogen atom from tyrosine, and the resultant substrate radical cleaves to yield dehydroglycine, which is required by ThiG for the thiazole cyclization reaction |
