FunFam 120507: 2-amino-3,7-dideoxy-D-threo-hept-6-ulosonate synth...

There are 5 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
2-amino-3,7-dideoxy-D-threo-hept-6-ulosonate synthase. [EC: 2.2.1.10]
L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde + 1-deoxy-D-threo-hexo-2,5-diulose 6-phosphate = 2-amino-2,3,7-trideoxy-D-lyxo-hept-6-ulosonate + 2,3- dioxopropylaldehyde phosphate.
  • The enzyme plays a key role in an alternative pathway of the biosynthesis of 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ), which is involved in the canonical pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
  • The enzyme can also catalyze the cleavage of fructose-1,6- bisphosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
  • Formerly EC 4.1.2.n5.

3-hydroxy-5-phosphonooxypentane-2,4-dione thiolase. [EC: 2.3.1.245]
Glycerone phosphate + acetyl-CoA = 3-hydroxy-5-phosphonooxypentane-2,4- dione + coenzyme A.
  • The enzyme participates in a degradation pathway of the bacterial quorum-sensing autoinducer molecule AI-2.

Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase. [EC: 4.1.2.13]
D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate = glycerone phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
  • Also acts on (3S,4R)-ketose 1-phosphates.
  • The enzymes increase electron-attraction by the carbonyl group, some (Class I) forming a protonated imine with it, others (Class II), mainly of microbial origin, polarizing it with a metal ion, e.g. zinc.
  • Formerly EC 4.1.2.7.

DNA helicase. [EC: 3.6.4.12]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • DNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded DNA.
  • Some of them unwind duplex DNA with a 3' to 5' polarity (1,3,5,8), other show 5' to 3' polarity (10,11,12,13) or unwind DNA in both directions (14,15).
  • Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA (4,9).
  • May be identical with EC 3.6.4.13 (RNA helicase).

2-amino-4,5-dihydroxy-6-oxo-7-(phosphonooxy)heptanoate synthase. [EC: 4.1.2.56]
2-amino-4,5-dihydroxy-6-oxo-7-(phosphonooxy)heptanoate = glycerone phosphate + L-aspartate 4-semialdehyde.
  • Part of the pathway for the biosynthesis of grixazone, a mixture of yellow pigments produced by the bacterium Streptomyces griseus.
  • Formerly EC 4.1.2.n6.
