Identification
Name:Dehydroglycine
DescriptionDehydroglycine is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon).Dehydroglycine is catalyzed by ThiH. ThiH is a tyrosine lyase that cleaves the C alpha-C beta bond of tyrosine, generating p-cresol as a by-product, to form dehydroglycine. (PMID 19923213)

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in metabolic process
Specific function:
Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur and selenium atoms from cysteine and selenocysteine to produce alanine. Functions as a sulfur delivery protein for NAD, biotin and Fe-S cluster synthesis. Transfers sulfur on 'Cys-456' of thiI in a transpersulfidation reaction. Transfers sulfur on 'Cys-19' of tusA in a transpersulfidation reaction. Functions also as a selenium delivery protein in the pathway for the biosynthesis of selenophosphate
