(2Z)-2-aminobut-2-enoate
Description
(2Z)-2-aminobut-2-enoate is an intermediate of pathways L-threonine degradation I and L-isoleucine biosynthesis I in E. coli. It is a product for enzymes threonine dehydratase and threonine deaminase which catalyze the reaction L-threonine -> (2Z)-2-aminobut-2-enoate + H2O + H+ in both pathways. (2Z)-2-aminobut-2-enoate is also a substrate of the spontaneous reaction (2Z)-2-aminobut-2-enoate -> 2-iminobutanoate in both pathways (BioCyc compound: CPD-15056).
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon).
