EC 2.5.1.53     
Accepted name: uracilylalanine synthase
Reaction: O-acetyl-L-serine + uracil = 3-(uracil-1-yl)-L-alanine + acetate

Glossary: O-acetyl-L-serine = (2S)-3-acetyloxy-2-aminopropanoic acid
3-(uracil-1-yl)-L-alanine = L-willardiine
3-(uracil-3-yl)-L-alanine = L-isowillardiine
Other name(s): 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
Systematic name: O-acetyl-L-serine:uracil 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)transferase
Comments: 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.
