Protein
(5-formylfuran-3-yl)methyl phosphate transaminase
Organism
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440)
Function
Catalyzes the transamination reaction between 4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde phosphate (4-HFC-P) and alanine to produce pyruvate and 5-(aminomethyl)-3-furanmethanol phosphate (F1-P), the precursor for the furan moiety in methanofuran.
Similarity
Belongs to the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
