ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.2.62

Accepted Name
5-deoxyribulose 1-phosphate aldolase
Alternative Name(s)
5-(methylthio)ribulose-1-phosphate aldolase
Reaction catalysed
  • 5-deoxy-D-ribulose 1-phosphate <=> acetaldehyde + dihydroxyacetone phosphate
  • S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphate <=> 2-(methylsulfanyl)acetaldehyde + dihydroxyacetone phosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, originally characterized from the bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum, is involved in degradation pathways for 5'-deoxyadenosine and S-methyl-5'-thioadenosine, which are formed from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM, AdoMet) by radical SAM enzymes and other types of SAM-dependent enzymes, respectively.
  • The enzyme requires a divalent metal cation, with Co(2+) producing the highest activity.
