Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 (overall reaction)
(1a) 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate = 2-aminobut-2-enoate
(1b) 2-aminobut-2-enoate = 2-iminobutanoate (spontaneous)
(1c) 2-iminobutanoate + H2O = 2-oxobutanoate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Systematic Name
1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate aminohydrolase (isomerizing)
Function
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme. The enzyme, found in certain soil bacteria and fungi, catalyses the ring opening of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate, the immediate precursor to ethylene, an important plant hormone that regulates fruit ripening and other processes. The enzyme releases an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. The enzyme has been used to make fruit ripening dependent on externally added ethylene, as it removes the substrate for endogenous ethylene formation.
