DE   D-threonine aldolase.
AN   DTA.
AN   Low specificity D-threonine aldolase.
CA   (1) D-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde.
CA   (2) D-allothreonine = glycine + acetaldehyde.
CF   Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
CC   -!- Activated by divalent metal cations (e.g. Co(2+), Ni(2+), Mn(2+) or
CC       Mg(2+)).
CC   -!- The reaction is reversible, which can lead to the interconversion of
CC       D-threonine and D-allothreonine.
CC   -!- Several other D-beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids, such as D-beta-
CC       phenylserine, D-beta-hydroxy-alpha-aminovaleric acid and D-beta-3,4-
CC       dihydroxyphenylserine, can also act as substrate.
