Accepted name: | 5-deoxyribulose 1-phosphate aldolase | ||||
Reaction: | (1) 5-deoxy-D-ribulose 1-phosphate = glycerone phosphate + acetaldehyde (2) S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphate = glycerone phosphate + (2-methylsulfanyl)acetaldehyde |
||||
Other name(s): | 5-(methylthio)ribulose-1-phosphate aldolase; ald2 (gene name) | ||||
Systematic name: | 5-deoxy-D-ribulose 1-phosphate acetaldehyde-lyase (glycerone-phosphate-forming) | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme, originally characterized from the bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum, is involved in degradation pathways for 5′-deoxyadenosine and S-methyl-5′-thioadenosine, which are formed from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM, AdoMet) by radical SAM enzymes and other types of SAM-dependent enzymes, respectively. The enzyme requires a divalent metal cation, with Co2+ producing the highest activity. | ||||
