Enzyme Information
4.1.2.43 |
3-hexulose-6-phosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9LBW4
D-arabino-hex-3-ulose 6-phosphate = D-ribulose 5-phosphate + formaldehyde.
-!- 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.
