4. Pyridoxal Phosphate Reaction Mechanisma Threonine can be broken down by the enzyme
threonine
dehydratase, which catalyzes the conversion of threonine to alpha:ketobutzrate, and ammonia. The
enzyme uses PLP as a cofactor. Suggest a mechanism for this reaction, based on the mechanisms in
Figure 18-6. Note that this reaction includes an elimination at the betta carbon of threonine.

Provide a synthesis pathway to get the product
Lysine catabolism begins with reductive amination of a-ketoglutarate to give saccharopine in a multistep process.
Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the reaction mechanism.
