The enzyme ornithine cyclodeaminase (EC 4.3.1.12) catalyzes the chemical reaction
L-ornithine L-proline + NH4+
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically ammonia lyases, which cleave carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is Lornithine ammonia-lyase (cyclizing; L-proline-forming). Other names in common use include ornithine cyclase, ornithine cyclase (deaminating), and L-ornithine ammonia-lyase (cyclizing). This enzyme participates in arginine and proline biosynthesis. It employs one cofactor, NAD+.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1U7H and PDB: 1X7D.
