2-iminoacetate synthase

2-iminoacetate synthase (, thiH (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name  L -tyrosine 4-methylphenol-lyase (2-iminoacetate-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * L -tyrosine + S-adenosyl- L -methionine + reduced acceptor $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2-iminoacetate + 4-methylphenol + 5'-deoxyadenosine + L -methionine + acceptor + 2 H+

This enzyme binds a 4Fe-4S cluster.
