KEGG   ENZYME: 4.1.2.49Help
Entry
EC 4.1.2.49                 Enzyme                                 
Name
L-allo-threonine aldolase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-carbon lyases;
Aldehyde-lyases
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
L-allo-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-allo-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde
Substrate
L-allo-threonine [CPD:C05519]
Product
glycine [CPD:C00037];
acetaldehyde [CPD:C00084]
Comment
Requires pyridoxal phosphate. This enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Aeromonas jandaei, is specific for L-allo-threonine and can not act on either L-threonine or L-serine. Different from EC 4.1.2.5, L-threonine aldolase, and EC 4.1.2.48, low-specificity L-threonine aldolase. A previously listed enzyme with this name, EC 4.1.2.6, was deleted in 1971 after it was found to be identical to EC 2.1.2.1, glycine hydroxymethyltransferase.
