EC 1.4.99.6 Details
EC number
1.4.99.6
Accepted name
D-arginine dehydrogenase
Reaction
D-arginine + acceptor + H2O = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + NH3 + reduced acceptor (overall reaction);;(1a) D-arginine + acceptor = iminoarginine + reduced acceptor;;(1b) iminoarginine + H2O = 5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate + NH3 (spontaneous)
Other name(s)
D-amino-acid:(acceptor) oxidoreductase (deaminating), D-amino-acid dehydrogenase, D-amino-acid:acceptor oxidoreductase (deaminating)
Systematic name
D-arginine:acceptor oxidoreductase (deaminating)
CAS registry number
37205-44-0
Comment
Contains a non-covalent FAD cofactor. The enzyme, which has been isolated from the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, forms with EC 1.4.1.25, L-arginine dehydrogenase, a two-enzyme complex involved in the racemization of D- and L-arginine. The enzyme has a broad substrate range and can act on most D-amino acids with the exception of D-glutamate and D-aspartate. However, activity is maximal with D-arginine and D-lysine. Not active on glycine.
