Figure 1From: Enhancement of solubility in Escherichia coli and purification of an aminotransferase from Sphingopyxis sp. MTA144 for deamination of hydrolyzed fumonisin B1The reaction catalyzed by aminotransferase FumI. The enzyme transfers the 2-amino group from hydrolyzed fumonisin B1 (HFB1, 2-Amino-12,16-dimethylicosane-3,5,10,14,15-pentol) to pyruvate, producing 2-keto-HFB1 (3,5,10,14,15-Pentahydroxy-12,16-dimethylicosane-2-one) and alanine.Back to article page
