EC 4.2.99.18

Accepted name: DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) lyase

Reaction: The C-O-P bond 3' to the apurinic or apyrimidinic site in DNA is broken by a β-elimination reaction, leaving a 3'-terminal unsaturated sugar and a product with a terminal 5'-phosphate

Other name(s): AP lyase; AP endonuclease class I; endodeoxyribonuclease (apurinic or apyrimidinic); deoxyribonuclease (apurinic or apyrimidinic); E. coli endonuclease III; phage-T4 UV endonuclease; Micrococcus luteus UV endonuclease; AP site-DNA 5'-phosphomonoester-lyase; X-ray endonuclease III

Systematic name: DNA-(apurinic or apyrimidinic site) 5'-phosphomonoester-lyase

Comments: 'Nicking' of the phosphodiester bond is due to a lyase-type reaction, not hydrolysis. This group of enzymes was previously listed as endonucleases, under EC 3.1.25.2.

EC 4.2.99.20

Accepted name: 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate synthase

Reaction: 5-enolpyruvoyl-6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate = (1R,6R)-6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-carboxylate + pyruvate

Other name(s): 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylic acid synthase; 6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-carboxylate synthase; SHCHC synthase; MenH; YfbB

Systematic name: 5-enolpyruvoyl-6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate pyruvate-lyase [(1R,6R)-6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-carboxylate-forming)

Comments: This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of vitamin K2 (menaquinone). In most anaerobes and all Gram-positive aerobes, menaquinone is the sole electron transporter in the respiratory chain and is essential for their survival. It had previously been thought that the reactions carried out by this enzyme and EC 2.2.1.9, 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid synthase, were carried out by a single enzyme but this has since been disproved [2].

EC 4.2.99.22

Accepted name: tuliposide A-converting enzyme

Reaction: 6-tuliposide A = tulipalin A + D-glucose

For diagram of reaction click here.

Glossary: 6-tuliposide A = 6-O-(4-hydroxy-2-methylenebutanoyl)-D-glucose
tulipalin A = 2-methylenebutanolactone

Other name(s): tuliposide-converting enzyme; 6-O-(4'-hydroxy-2'-methylenebutyryl)-D-glucose acyltransferase (lactone-forming); TCA; TCEA

Systematic name: 6-tuliposide A D-glucose-lyase (tulipalin A forming)

EC 4.2.99.23

Accepted name: tuliposide B-converting enzyme

Reaction: 6-tuliposide B = tulipalin B + D-glucose

Glossary: 6-tuliposide B = 6-O-[(3S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-methylenebutanoyl]-D-glucose
tulipalin B = (4S)-4-hydroxy-3-methylideneoxolan-2-one

Systematic name: 6-tuliposide B D-glucose-lyase (tulipalin B-forming)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from pollen of the plant Tulipa gesneriana (tulip), catalyses the intramolecular transesterification of 6-tuliposide B to form the antibiotic aglycon tulipalin B as a sole product. It does not catalyse the hydrolysis of 6-tuliposide B to form a hydroxy acid. The enzyme has marginal activity with 6-tuliposide A. cf. EC 4.2.99.22, tuliposide A-converting enzyme.
