General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	O-phospho-L-homoserine + H₂O = L-threonine + phosphate.
Cofactor	Pyridoxal phosphate.
Enzyme regulation	Allosterically activated by S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM). Activated by S-adenosyl-L-ethionine, 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine, sinefungin and 5'-deoxy-5-methylthioadenosine. Inhibited by AMP. Ref.5
Pathway	Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-threonine biosynthesis; L-threonine from L-aspartate: step 5/5.
Subunit structure	Homodimer. Ref.5
Subcellular location	Plastid › chloroplast.
Domain	The N-terminal domain (1-77) is essential for regulation by S-adenosyl-L-methionine and AMP, but not for dimerization.
Miscellaneous	Binds 4 S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) molecules per dimer. Although SAM3 and SAM4 have equivalent positions, their interactions with the protein are not identical. SAM3 interacts with Lys-181 and Asn-187 of monomer B, whereas SAM4 interacts only with Lys-181 of monomer A. Much more active than TS2 at physiological concentrations of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (20 µM).
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the serine/threonine dehydratase family.
Biophysicochemical properties	Kinetic parameters: K_M=30 µM for O-phospho-L-homoserine (in presence of 100 µM S-adenosyl-L-methionine) K_M=120 µM for O-phospho-L-homoserine (in absence of 100 µM S-adenosyl-L-methionine)
