Aminotransferase, class V
Encyclopedia
Aminotransferase class-V is an evolutionary conserved protein domain
Protein domain
A protein domain is a part of protein sequence and structure that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. Each domain forms a compact three-dimensional structure and often can be independently stable and folded. Many proteins consist of several structural...

. This domain is found in amino transferases, and other enzymes including cysteine desulphurase EC:4.4.1.-.

Aminotransferases share certain mechanistic features with other pyridoxal- phosphate dependent enzymes, such as the covalent binding of the pyridoxal- phosphate group to a lysine residue. On the basis of sequence similarity, these various enzymes can be grouped into subfamilies. This family is called class-V.

Subfamilies

  • Phosphoserine aminotransferase 
  • Cysteine desulfurase
    Cysteine desulfurase
    In enzymology, a cysteine desulfurase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionThus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-cysteine and [enzyme]-cysteine, whereas its two products are L-alanine and [enzyme]-S-sulfanylcysteine....

     
  • Cysteine desulphurase related, unknown function 
  • Cysteine desulphurases, SufS 
  • Cysteine desulphurase related 
  • 2-aminoethylphosphonate—pyruvate transaminase
