KEGG   ENZYME: 2.5.1.66
Entry
EC 2.5.1.66                 Enzyme                                 
Name
N2-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthase;
CEAS;
N2-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthetase;
CEA synthetase;
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:L-arginine 2-N-(2-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl) transferase (2-carboxyethyl-forming)
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
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate:L-arginine N2-(2-hydroxy-3-oxopropyl) transferase (2-carboxyethyl-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + L-arginine = N2-(2-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine + phosphate [RN:R05465]
Reaction(KEGG)
R05465
Substrate
D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate [CPD:C00118];
L-arginine [CPD:C00062]
Product
N2-(2-carboxyethyl)-L-arginine [CPD:C06655];
phosphate [CPD:C00009]
Comment
The enzyme requires thiamine diphosphate and catalyses the first step in the clavulanic-acid-biosynthesis pathway. The 2-hydroxy-3-oxo group transferred from glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is isomerized during transfer to form the 2-carboxyethyl group.
