Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
(1) 5-deoxy-D-ribulose 1-phosphate = glycerone phosphate + acetaldehyde
(2) S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphate = glycerone phosphate + (2-methylsulfanyl)acetaldehyde
Systematic Name
5-deoxy-D-ribulose 1-phosphate acetaldehyde-lyase (glycerone-phosphate-forming)
Function
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 Co2+ producing the highest activity.
Other name
5-(methylthio)ribulose-1-phosphate aldolase; ald2 (gene name)
