EC Tree
IUBMB Comments A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The enzyme cleaves a carbon-sulfur bond, releasing methanethiol and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which undergoes a hydrolytic deamination to form 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia. The latter reaction, which can occur spontaneously, can also be catalysed by EC 3.5.99.10, 2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase. The enzyme is involved in L-methionine catabolism.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Treponema denticola The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

drug development
-
methyl mercaptan may not only cause oral malodour but also play an important role in the pathogenicity of Treptonema denticola. The enzyme may be an exploitable target for novel chemotherapeutic drugs. An inhibitor of METase may represent a new class of compounds with the potential for preventing and treating oral malodor
