RESUMO
We demonstrate here that Escherichia coli K-12 synthesizes two different L-serine deaminases (L-SD) catalyzing the nonoxidative deamination of L-serine to pyruvate, one coded for by the previously described sdaA gene and a second, hitherto undescribed enzyme which we call L-SD2. A strain carrying a null mutation in sdaA made no detectable L-SD in minimal medium, but had activity in Luria broth. We describe a mutation, sdaX, which affects the regulation of L-SD2 and permits its expression in minimal medium, and an insertion mutation, sdaB, which abolishes L-SD2 activity completely. Both mutations lie near 60.5 min on the E. coli genetic map. The two L-SD enzymes have similar enzyme parameters, and both require posttranslational activation.
