Proposed Changes to the Enzyme List

The entries below are proposed additions and amendments to the Enzyme Nomenclature list. They were prepared for the NC-IUBMB by Kristian Axelsen, Ron Caspi, Ture Damhus, Shinya Fushinobu, Julia Hauenstein, Antje Jäde, Ingrid Keseler, Masaaki Kotera, Andrew McDonald, Gerry Moss, Ida Schomburg and Keith Tipton. Comments and suggestions on these draft entries should be sent to Dr Andrew McDonald (Department of Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Dublin 2, Ireland). The date on which an enzyme will be made official is appended after the EC number. To prevent confusion please do not quote new EC numbers until they are incorporated into the main list.

An asterisk before 'EC' indicates that this is an amendment to an existing enzyme rather than a new enzyme entry.

(S)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate, the product of the first enzyme of the pathway (EC 1.5.5.2, proline dehydrogenase) is in spontaneous equilibrium with its tautomer L-glutamate γ-semialdehyde. In many bacterial species, both activities are carried out by a single bifunctional enzyme [3,4].The enzyme can also oxidize other 1-pyrrolines, e.g. 3-hydroxy-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted into 4-hydroxyglutamate and (R)-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate is converted into D-glutamate. NADP+ can also act as acceptor, but with lower activity [5].

For diagram of glycogen, click here
Other name(s): muscle phosphorylase a and b; amylophosphorylase; polyphosphorylase; amylopectin phosphorylase; glucan phosphorylase; α-glucan phosphorylase; 1,4-α-glucan phosphorylase; glucosan phosphorylase; granulose phosphorylase; maltodextrin phosphorylase; muscle phosphorylase; myophosphorylase; potato phosphorylase; starch phosphorylase; 1,4-α-D-glucan:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase; phosphorylase (ambiguous)
Systematic name: (1→4)-α-D-glucan:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase
Comments: This entry covers several enzymes from different sources that act in vivo on different forms of (1→4)-α-D-glucans. Some of these enzymes catalyse the first step in the degradation of large branched glycan polymers - the phosphorolytic cleavage of α-1,4-glucosidic bonds from the non-reducing ends of linear poly(1→4)-α-D-glucosyl chains within the polymers. The enzyme stops when it reaches the fourth residue away from an α-1,6 branching point, leaving a highly branched core known as a limit dextrin. The accepted name of the enzyme should be modified for each specific instance by substituting "glycogen" with the name of the natural substrate, e.g. maltodextrin phosphorylase, starch phosphorylase, etc.

Other name(s): Dph2
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:L-histidine-[translation elongation factor 2] 2-[(3S)-3-amino-3-carboxypropyl]transferase
Comments: A [4Fe-4S] enzyme that modifies a histidine residue of the translation elongation factor 2 (EF2) via a 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical. The enzyme is present in archae and eukaryotes but not in eubacteria. The enzyme is a member of the ’AdoMet radical’ (radical SAM) family and generates the 3-amino-3-carboxypropyl radical by an uncanonical clevage of S-adenosyl-L-methionine. The relevant histidine of EF2 is His715 in mammals, His699 in yeast and His600 in Pyrococcus horikoshii. Part of diphthamide biosynthesis.

Comments: Apyrases are active against both di- and triphosphate nucleotides (NDPs and NTPs) and hydrolyse NTPs to nucleotide monophosphates (NMPs) in two distinct successive phosphate-releasing steps, with NDPs as intermediates. They differ from ATPases, which specifically hydrolyse ATP, by hydrolysing both ATP and ADP. The eukaryotic enzymes requires Ca2+, but Mg2+ can substitute. Most of the ecto-ATPases that occur on the cell surface and hydrolyse extracellular nucleotides belong to this enzyme family.

Comments: The enzymes from vertebrates, platyhelminths, mollusks, annelids, crustaceans, insects, algae, some fungi and some bacteria (particularly Gram-negative) require 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate as a cofactor. The enzyme is activated by 2,3-bisphospho-D-glycerate by transferring a phosphate to histidine (His10 in man and Escherichia coli, His8 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae). This phosphate can be transferred to the free OH of 2-phospho-D-glycerate, followed by transfer of the phosphate already on the phosphoglycerate back to the histidine. cf. EC 5.4.2.12 phosphoglycerate mutase. The enzyme has no requirement for metal ions. This enzyme also catalyse, slowly, the reactions of EC 5.4.2.4 bisphosphoglycerate mutase.

EC 6.3.4.23
Accepted name: formate—phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide ligase
Reaction: ATP + formate + 5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide = ADP + phosphate + 5-formamido-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide
Other name(s): 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide synthetase; 5-formaminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranosyl 5′-monophosphate synthetase; purP (gene name)
Systematic name: formate:5-amino-1-(5-phospho-D-ribosyl)imidazole-4-carboxamide ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: This archaeal enzyme, characterized from the methanogen Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, catalyses a step in the synthesis of purine nucleotides. It differs from the orthologous bacterial/eukaryotic enzymes, which utilize 10-formyltetrahydrofolate rather than formate and ATP. cf. EC 2.1.2.3, phosphoribosylaminoimidazolecarboxamide formyltransferase.
