UniProt functional annotation for P13254

UniProt code: P13254.

Organism: Pseudomonas putida (Arthrobacter siderocapsulatus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pseudomonadales; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonas.
 
Function: Catalyzes the alpha,gamma-elimination of L-methionine to produce methanethiol, 2-oxobutanoate and ammonia (PubMed:8586629, PubMed:6742420). Is involved in L-methionine catabolism (PubMed:9190812). In fact, shows a multicatalytic function since it also catalyzes gamma-replacement of L-methionine with thiol compounds, alpha,gamma-elimination and gamma-replacement reactions of L- homocysteine and its S-substituted derivatives, O-substituted-L- homoserines and DL-selenomethionine, and, to a lesser extent, alpha,beta-elimination and beta-replacement reactions of L-cysteine, S- methyl-L-cysteine, and O-acetyl-L-serine (PubMed:6742420, PubMed:22785484). Also catalyzes deamination and gamma-addition reactions of L-vinylglycine (PubMed:6742420). Thus, the enzyme is able to cleave C-S, C-Se, and C-O bonds of sulfur, selenium, and oxygen amino acids, respectively (PubMed:6742420, PubMed:22785484). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22785484, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6742420, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8586629, ECO:0000305|PubMed:9190812}.
