Reaction: threo-3-hydroxy-D-aspartate = oxaloacetate + NH3
Other name(s): D-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate dehydratase
Systematic name: threo-3-hydroxy-D-aspartate ammonia-lyase (oxaloacetate-forming)
Comments: A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Delftia sp. HT23, also has activity against L-threo-3-hydroxyaspartate, L-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate, and D-serine. Different from EC 4.3.1.20, erythro-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate ammonia-lyase and EC 4.3.1.16, threo-3-hydroxy-L-aspartate ammonia-lyase. Requires a divalent cation such as Mn2+, Co2+ or Ni2+.
