| Accepted name: | canavanine-γ-lyase | ||
| Reaction: | L-canavanine + H2O = L-homoserine + N-hydroxyguanidine (overall reaction) (1a) L-canavanine = vinylglycine + N-hydroxyguanidine (1b) vinylglycine = (2E)-2-aminobut-2-enoate (spontaneous) (1c) (2E)-2-aminobut-2-enoate + H2O = L-homoserine (spontaneous) |

| Other name(s): | CangL | ||
| Systematic name: | L-canavanine N-hydroxyguanidine-lyase (L-homoserine-forming) | ||
| Comments: | A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas canavaninivorans, cleaves a carbon-oxygen bond, releasing N-hydroxyguanidine and an unstable enamine product that tautomerizes to an imine form, which is attacked by a water molecule to form L-homoserine. | ||
