EC 1.4.99.5 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.4.99.5

Accepted name

glycine dehydrogenase (cyanide-forming)

Reaction

glycine + 2 acceptor = hydrogen cyanide + CO₂ + 2 reduced acceptor

Other name(s)

hydrogen cyanide synthase, HCN synthase

Systematic name

glycine:acceptor oxidoreductase (hydrogen-cyanide-forming)

Comment

The enzyme from Pseudomonas sp. contains FAD. The enzyme is membrane-bound, and the 2-electron acceptor is a component of the respiratory chain. The enzyme can act with various artificial electron acceptors, including phenazine methosulfate.
