Description
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogenes, is involved in bialaphos biosynthesis. The enzyme from the bacterium Kitasatospora phosalacinea participates in the biosynthesis of the related compound phosalacine. Both compounds contain the nonproteinogenic amino acid L-phosphinothricin that acts as a potent inhibitor of EC 6.3.1.2, glutamine synthetase. The similar enzyme EC 4.2.1.3, aconitate hydratase, cannot catalyse this reaction.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Reaction
2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate = 3-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate (overall reaction); (1a) 2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate = 2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate + H2O; (1b) 2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate + H2O = 3-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate
