KEGG   ENZYME: 2.5.1.53
Entry
EC 2.5.1.53                 Enzyme                                 
Name
uracilylalanine synthase;
O3-acetyl-L-serine acetate-lyase (adding uracil);
isowillardiine synthase;
willardiine synthase;
3-O-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase;
O3-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups (only sub-subclass identified to date)
Sysname
O-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
O-acetyl-L-serine + uracil = 3-(uracil-1-yl)-L-alanine + acetate [RN:R03131]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03131
Substrate
O-acetyl-L-serine [CPD:C00979];
uracil [CPD:C00106]
Product
3-(uracil-1-yl)-L-alanine [CPD:C03584];
acetate [CPD:C00033]
Comment
The enzyme produces the non-proteinogenic amino acid L-willardiine, which is naturally found in the plants Acacia willardiana, Mimosa pigra, and Pisum sativum (pea). The enzyme from Pisum species also produces L-isowillardiine. Not identical with EC 2.5.1.47 cysteine synthase.
History
EC 2.5.1.53 created 1990 as EC 4.2.99.16, transferred 2002 to EC 2.5.1.53
