EC 5.4.3.9

Accepted name: glutamate 2,3-aminomutase

Reaction: L-glutamate = 3-aminopentanedioate

Glossary: 3-aminopentanedioate = isoglutamate

Systematic name: L-glutamate 2,3-aminomutase

Comments: This enzyme is a member of the 'AdoMet radical' (radical SAM) family. It contains pyridoxal phosphate and a [4Fe-4S] cluster, which is coordinated by 3 cysteines and binds an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine molecule. During the reaction cycle, the AdoMet forms a 5'-deoxyadenosyl radical, which is regenerated at the end of the reaction.
