4.1.3.43

Accepted name:

4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoate aldolase

Reaction:

(S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoate = propanal + pyruvate

Other name(s):

BphI

Systematic name:

(S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxohexanoate pyruvate-lyase (propanal-forming)

Comments:

Requires Mn²⁺ for maximal activity [1,2]. The enzymes from the bacteria Burkholderia xenovorans and Thermus thermophilus also perform the reaction of EC 4.1.3.39, 4-hydroxy-2-oxovalerate aldolase [1,2,6]. The enzyme forms a bifunctional complex with EC 1.2.1.87, propanal dehydrogenase (CoA-propanoylating), with a tight channel connecting the two subunits [3,4,6].
