KEGG   ENZYME: 4.3.2.8
Entry
EC 4.3.2.8                  Enzyme                                 
Name
gamma-glutamylamine cyclotransferase;
GGACT
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-nitrogen lyases;
Amidine-lyases
Sysname
epsilon-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase (5-oxo-L-proline producing)
Reaction(IUBMB)
epsilon-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine = L-lysine + 5-oxo-L-proline [RN:R11862]
Reaction(KEGG)
R11862
Substrate
epsilon-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-lysine [CPD:C21730]
Product
L-lysine [CPD:C00047];
5-oxo-L-proline [CPD:C01879]
Comment
The enzyme, found in vertebrates, has no activity toward alpha-(gamma-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acids (cf. EC 4.3.2.9, gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase). The enzyme acts as a cyclotransferase, cleaving the amide bond via transamidation using the alpha-amine of the gamma-L-glutamyl residue, releasing it as the cyclic 5-oxo-L-proline.
