ENZYME entry: EC 5.3.1.27

Accepted Name
6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase.
Alternative Name(s)
3-hexulose-6-phosphate isomerase.
6-phospho-3-hexulose isomerase.
PHI.
Phospho-3-hexuloisomerase.
Reaction catalysed
D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate <=> D-fructose 6-phosphate
Comment(s)
  • This enzyme, along with EC 4.1.2.43, 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 EC 4.1.2.43 and this enzyme.
