Identification
Name:Threonine synthase
Synonyms:
  • TS
Gene Name:thrC
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the gamma-elimination of phosphate from L- phosphohomoserine and the beta-addition of water to produce L- threonine. To a lesser extent, is able to slowly catalyze the deamination of L-threonine into alpha-ketobutyrate and that of L- serine and 3-chloroalanine into pyruvate. Is also able to rapidly convert vinylglycine to threonine, which proves that the pyridoxal p-quinonoid of vinylglycine is an intermediate in the TS reaction
