Enzyme Commission Number
EC 4.2.1.111
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
1,5-anhydro-D-fructose = 1,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-D-glycero-hex-3-en-2-ulose + H2O
Systematic Name
1,5-anhydro-D-fructose hydro-lyase (ascopyrone-M-forming)
Function
This enzyme catalyses one of the steps in the anhydrofructose pathway, which leads to the degradation of glycogen and starch via 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose. The other enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 4.2.1.110 (aldos-2-ulose dehydratase), EC 4.2.2.13 [exo-(1→4)-α-D-glucan lyase] and EC 5.3.2.7 (ascopyrone tautomerase). Requires divalent (Ca2+ or Mg2+) or monovalent cations (Na+) for optimal activity. Unlike EC 4.2.1.110, the enzyme is specific for 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose as substrate and shows no activity towards aldose-2-uloses such as 2-dehydroglucose. In addition, it is inhibited by its end-product ascopyrone M and it cannot convert ascopyrone M into microthecin, as can EC 4.2.1.110.
