A new class EC 7, Translocases, has been added to the EC list. It will be part of ENZYME from release 2018_10. Read more about EC 7 here.

ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.2.43

Accepted Name
3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
3-hexulose phosphate synthase.
3-hexulosephosphate synthase.
D-arabino-3-hexulose 6-phosphate formaldehyde-lyase.
HPS.
Reaction catalysed
D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate <=> D-ribulose 5-phosphate + formaldehyde
Cofactor(s)
Mn(2+) or Mg(2+).
Comment(s)
  • Specific for formaldehyde and D-ribulose 5-phosphate as substrates.
  • Ribose 5-phosphate, xylulose 5-phosphate, allulose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate cannot act as substrate.
  • This enzyme, along with EC 5.3.1.27, 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.
  • The hyperthermophilic and anaerobic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 constitutively produces a bifunctional enzyme that sequentially catalyzes the reactions of this enzyme and EC 5.3.1.27.
