Description | Agmatine deiminase ( ) catalyses the conversion of agmatine into N-carbamoylputrescine. This enzyme usually functions as part of polyamine biosynthesis, though in some bacterial species, such as Enterococcus faecalis, it can also function in the generation of ATP from agmatine [ , , ]. The E. faecalis enzyme is a homotetramer where each monomer adopts a similar fold to that of the arginine deiminase catalytic domain, a five-bladed fan-like structure where the repeating unit is formed from three beta sheets and an alpha helix [].This entry represents known and putative agmatine deiminases from bacteria and plants. Related deiminases not in this entry include the peptidyl-arginine deiminase ( ) as found in Porphyromonas gingivalis. |
