Protein Domain : IPR005922

Type:  Family Name:  Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase
Description:  The ubiquitous higher plant enzyme phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL; ) is a key biosynthetic catalyst in phenylpropanoid assembly. PAL catalyses the non-oxidative deamination of L-phenylalanine to trans-cinnamic acid. PAL contains a catalytic Ala-Ser-Gly triad that is post-translationally cyclised. PAL is structurally similar to the mechanistically related histidine ammonia lyase (HAL; ), with PAL having an additional approximately 160 residues extending from the common fold []. Catalysis in PAL may be governed by the dipole moments of seven alpha helices associated with the PAL active site. The cofactor 3,5-dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazol-4-one (MIO) resides atop the positive poles of three helices, for increasing its electrophillicity. Plant and fungal PAL enzymes contain aa approximately 100-residue long C-terminal multi-helix domain, which might play a role in the rapid response of PAL in the regulation of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis by destabilising the enzyme []. Short Name:  Phe_NH3-lyase
