ENZYME - 4.1.99.1 tryptophanase

Accepted Name
tryptophanase
Alternative Name(s)
L-tryptophan indole-lyase
TNase
Reaction catalysed
L-tryptophan + H2O = indole + pyruvate + NH4(+)
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme cleaves a carbon-carbon bond, releasing indole and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form pyruvate and ammonia.
  • The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalyzed by EC 3.5.99.10.
  • Also catalyzes 2,3-elimination and beta-replacement reactions of some indole-substituted tryptophan analogs of L-cysteine, L-serine and other 3-substituted amino acids.
