The reaction mechanisms of three enzymes belonging to a single gene family are compared: a cyanoalanine synthase and two isoforms of O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase (O-ASTL) isolated from spinach (Spinacea oleracea L. cv. Medina). O-ASTL represents a major regulatory point in

Cyanoalanine hydratase (E.C. 4.2.1.65) is an enzyme involved in the cyanide detoxification pathway of higher plants and catalyzes the hydrolysis of beta-cyano-L-alanine to asparagine. We have isolated the enzyme from seedlings of blue lupine (Lupinus angustifolius) to obtain protein sequence
