CATH Classification

Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Putative phosphatase; domain 2
Functional Family Bifunctional phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase/aminoethylphosphonate transaminase

Enzyme Information

3.11.1.1
Phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt O31156
Phosphonoacetaldehyde + H(2)O = acetaldehyde + phosphate.
-!- This enzyme destabilizes the C-P bond, by forming an imine between one of its lysine residues and the carbonyl group of the substrate, thus allowing this, normally stable, bond to be broken. -!- The mechanism is similar to that used by EC 4.1.2.13 to break a C-C bond.
