Glycine data from LIS
Type | Family |
Description | This entry represents the bacterial ornithine cyclodeaminase enzyme family, which catalyse the deamination of ornithine to proline [ ]. The family also includes archaeal alanine dehydrogenase [] and mu-crystallin, a mammalian homologue of bacterial ornithine cyclodeaminase [], which is the major component of the eye lens in several Australian marsupials. mRNA for mu-crystallin has also been found in human retina [].This entry also includes protein SAR DEFICIENT 4 (SARD4) from Arabidopsis. SARD4 is involved in the biosynthesis of pipecolate (Pip), a metabolite that orchestrates defense amplification, positive regulation of salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis, and priming to guarantee effective local resistance induction and the establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) [ ]. It does not possess ornithine cyclodeaminase activity in vitro []. |
