ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.2.43

Accepted Name
3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase
Alternative Name(s)
3-hexulosephosphate synthase
3-hexulose phosphate synthase
D-arabino-3-hexulose 6-phosphate formaldehyde-lyase
HPS
Reaction catalysed
D-ribulose 5-phosphate + formaldehyde <=> D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate
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.
