Synonyms: cephalosporin C aminotransferase, L-alanine:cephalosporin-C aminotransferase
Systematic Name: cephalosporin-C:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Unification Links: BRENDA:2.6.1.74, ENZYME:2.6.1.74, IUBMB-ExplorEnz:2.6.1.74
Reaction:
(7R)-7-(5-carboxy-5-oxopentanamido)cephalosporanate + D-glutamate ↔ cephalosporin C + 2-oxoglutarate
Summary:
A number of D-amino acids, including D-alanine, D-aspartate and D-methionine can also act as amino-group donors. Although this enzyme acts on several free D-amino acids, it differs from
EC 2.6.1.21, D-alanine transaminase, in that it can use cephalosporin C as an amino donor.
