Reactions

Cofactor

Comments:

A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein. This enzyme catalyses the second step in the phosphorylated pathway of serine biosynthesis [1,3] and the third step in pyridoxal 5'-phosphate biosynthesis in the bacterium Escherichia coli [3]. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is the cofactor for both activities and therefore seems to be involved in its own biosynthesis [4]. Non-phosphorylated forms of serine and threonine are not substrates [4]. The archaeal enzyme has a relaxed specificity and can act on L-cysteate and L-alanine as alternative substrates to O-phospho-L-serine [7].
