Threonine Dehydratase
Introduction Threonine dehydratase (TDH) also known as Threonine Ammonia-Lyase and Threonine Deaminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of threonine to α-ketobutyrate.
It is the first enzyme in the isoleucine biosynthetic pathway. TDH belongs to the enzyme class EC-4 which cleave C-C, C-O, C-N through hydrolysis or oxidation. TDH [EC 4.3.1.19] specifically cleaves C-N bonds. DH was first discovered in E.coli around 1965 but has since been purified from other bacterial sources such as Salmonella typhimurium
