EC 4.3.1.18     
Accepted name: D-serine ammonia-lyase
Reaction: D-serine = pyruvate + NH3 (overall reaction)
(1a) D-serine = 2-aminoprop-2-enoate + H2O
(1b) 2-aminoprop-2-enoate = 2-iminopropanoate (spontaneous)
(1c) 2-iminopropanoate + H2O = pyruvate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Other name(s): D-hydroxyaminoacid dehydratase; D-serine dehydrase; D-hydroxy amino acid dehydratase; D-serine hydrolase; D-serine dehydratase (deaminating); D-serine deaminase; D-serine hydro-lyase (deaminating)
Systematic name: D-serine ammonia-lyase (pyruvate-forming)
Comments: A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme cleaves a carbon-oxygen bond, releasing a water molecule (hence the enzyme’s original classification as EC 4.2.1.14, D-serine dehydratase) and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. Also acts, slowly, on D-threonine.
