Accepted name: |
phenylalanine aminomutase (D-β-phenylalanine forming) |
Reaction: |
L-phenylalanine = D-β-phenylalanine |
Glossary: |
D-β-phenylalanine = (S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoate |
Other name(s): |
admH (gene name); L-phenylalanine 2,3-aminomutase [(S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoate] |
Systematic name: |
L-phenylalanine 2,3-aminomutase [(S)-3-amino-3-phenylpropanoate-forming] |
Comments: |
The enzyme from the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans produces D-β-phenylalanine, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of the polyketide non-ribosomal antibiotic andrimid. The enzyme contains the cofactor 3,5-dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO), which is formed autocatalytically by cyclization and dehydration of the three amino-acid residues alanine, serine and glycine. cf. EC 5.4.3.10, phenylalanine aminomutase (L-β-phenylalanine forming). |
