EC 2.2.1.8     
Accepted name: fluorothreonine transaldolase
Reaction: L-threonine + fluoroacetaldehyde = acetaldehyde + 4-fluoro-L-threonine
Systematic name: fluoroacetaldehyde:L-threonine aldehydetransferase
Comments: A pyridoxal phosphate protein. Can also convert chloroacetaldehyde into4-chloro-L-threonine. Unlike EC 2.1.2.1, glycine hydroxymethyltransferase, does not use glycine as a substrate.
