|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate = D-ribulose 5-phosphate + formaldehyde [RN: R05338]
|
Reaction(KEGG) |
|
Substrate |
D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate [CPD: C06019]
|
Product |
D-ribulose 5-phosphate [CPD: C00199];
formaldehyde [CPD: C00067]
|
Comment |
Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for maximal activity [1]. The enzyme is specific for D-ribulose 5-phosphate as substrate as ribose 5-phosphate, xylulose 5-phosphate, allulose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate cannot act as substrate. In addition to formaldehyde, the enzyme can also use glycolaldehyde and methylglyoxal [7]. This enzyme, along with EC 5.3.1.27, 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase, plays a key role in the ribulose-monophosphate cycle of formaldehyde fixation, which is present in many microorganisms that are capable of utilizing C1-compounds [1]. The hyperthermophilic and anaerobic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 constitutively produces a bifunctional enzyme that sequentially catalyses the reactions of this enzyme and EC 5.3.1.27, 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase [6]. This enzyme is a member of the orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) suprafamily [5].
