Other name(s): pyranosone dehydratase; AUDH; 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose dehydratase (microthecin-forming)

Systematic name: 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose hydro-lyase (microthecin-forming)

Comments: This enzyme catalyses two of the steps in the anhydrofructose pathway, which leads to the degradation of glycogen and starch via 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose [1,2]. The other enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 4.2.1.111 (1,5-anhydro-D-fructose dehydratase), EC 4.2.2.13 (exo-(1→4)-α-D-glucan lyase) and EC 5.3.2.7 (ascopyrone tautomerase). Aldose-2-uloses such as 2-dehydroglucose can also act as substrates, but more slowly [1,2,4]. This is a bifunctional enzyme that acts as both a lyase and as an isomerase [2]. Differs from EC 4.2.1.111, which can carry out only reaction (1a) and requires a cofactor for activity [5].

Other name(s): 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose 4-dehydratase; 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose hydrolyase; 1,5-anhydro-D-arabino-hex-2-ulose dehydratase; AFDH; AF dehydratase; 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose hydro-lyase

Systematic name: 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose hydro-lyase (ascopyrone-M-forming)

Comments: 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 [1,2]. 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, aldos-2-ulose dehydratase, the enzyme is specific for 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose as substrate and shows no activity towards aldose-2-uloses such as 2-dehydroglucose [1,2,3]. In addition, it is inhibited by its end-product ascopyrone M [2] and it cannot convert ascopyrone M into microthecin, as can EC 4.2.1.110.

Other name(s): methanogen HACN

Systematic name: (R)-2-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase [(1R,2S)-1-hydroxybutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate-forming]

Comments: This enzyme catalyses several reactions in the pathway of coenzyme-B biosynthesis in methanogenic archaea. Requires a [4Fe-4S] cluster for activity. In contrast to EC 4.2.1.36, homoaconitate hydratase, this enzyme can catalyse both the dehydration of (R)-homocitrate to form cis-homoaconitate and the subsequent hydration reaction that forms homoisocitrate. In addition to cis-homoaconitate, the enzyme can also catalyse the hydration of the physiological substrates dihomoaconitate and trihomoaconitate as well as the non-physiological substrate tetrahomoaconitate. cis-Aconitate and threo-DL-isocitrate cannot act as substrates, and (S)-homocitrate and trans-homoaconitate act as inhibitors of the enzyme.

Systematic name: UDP-N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine hydro-lyase (inverting; UDP-2-acetamido-2,6-dideoxy-β-L-arabino-hex-4-ulose-forming)

Comments: Contains NADP+ as a cofactor. This is the first enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway of pseudaminic acid [3], a sialic-acid-like sugar that is unique to bacteria and is used by Helicobacter pylori to modify its flagellin. This enzyme plays a critical role in H. pylori's pathogenesis, being involved in the synthesis of both functional flagella and lipopolysaccharides [1,2]. It is completely inhibited by UDP-galactose. The reaction results in the chirality of the C-5 atom being inverted. It is thought that Lys-133 acts sequentially as a catalytic acid, protonating the C-6 hydroxy group and as a catalytic base, abstracting the C-5 proton, resulting in the elimination of water. This enzyme belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family of enzymes.

Reaction: L-serine + indole = L-tryptophan + H2O

Other name(s): tryptophan synthase β2

Systematic name: L-serine hydro-lyase [adding indole, L-tryptophan-forming]

Comments: Most mesophilic bacteria have a multimeric tryptophan synthase complex (EC 4.2.1.20) that forms L-tryptophan from L-serine and 1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate via an indole intermediate. This intermediate, which is formed by the α subunits, is transferred in an internal tunnel to the β units, which convert it to tryptophan. In thermophilic organisms the high temperature enhances diffusion and causes the loss of indole. This enzyme, which does not combine with the α unit to form a complex, salvages the lost indole back to L-tryptophan. It has a much lower Km for indole than the β subunit of EC 4.2.1.20.

Systematic name: (6S)-6β-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide hydro-lyase (ADP-hydrolysing; NADH-forming)

Comments: Acts equally well on hydrated NADH and hydrated NADPH. NAD(P)H spontaneously hydrates to both the (6S)- and (6R)- isomers. The enzyme from bacteria consists of two domains, one of which acts as an NAD(P)H-hydrate epimerase that interconverts the two isomers to a 60:40 ratio (cf. EC 5.1.99.6), while the other catalyses the dehydration. Hence the enzyme can restore the complete mixture of isomers into NAD(P)H. The enzyme has no activity with ATP, contrary to the enzyme from eukaryotes (cf. EC 4.2.1.93, ATP-dependent NAD(P)H-hydrate dehydratase).

Other name(s): colD (gene name)

Systematic name: GDP-4-dehydro-α-D-rhamnose 3-hydrolyase

Comments: This enzyme, involved in β-L-colitose biosynthesis, is a unique vitamin-B6-dependent enzyme. In the first step of catalysis, the bound pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) cafactor is transaminated to the pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate (PMP) form of vitamin B6, using L-glutamate as the amino group donor. The PMP cofactor then forms a Schiff base with the sugar substrate and the resulting adduct undergoes a 1,4-dehydration to eliminate the 3-OH group. Hydrolysis of the product from the enzyme restores the PLP cofactor and results in the release of an unstable enamine intermediate. This intermediate tautomerizes to form an imine form, which hydrolyses spontaneously, releasing ammonia and forming the final product.

Other name(s): fldBC (gene names); (R)-phenyllactoyl-CoA dehydratase; aryllactyl-CoA dehydratase

Systematic name: (R)-3-(aryl)lactoyl-CoA hydro-lyase

Comments: The enzyme, found in some amino acid-fermenting anaerobic bacteria, participates in the fermentation pathways of L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan. It is a heterodimeric protein consisting of the FldB and FldC polypeptides, both of which contain an [4Fe-4S]cluster, and forms a complex with EC 2.8.3.17, 3-(aryl)acryloyl-CoA:(R)-3-(aryl)lactate CoA-transferase (FldA). In order to catalyse the reaction, the enzyme requires one high-energy electron that transiently reduces the electrophilic thiol ester carbonyl of the substrate to a nucleophilic ketyl radical anion, facilitating the elimination of the hydroxyl group. This electron, which is provided by by EC 5.6.1.10, (R)-2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activating ATPase, needs to be supplied only once, before the first reaction takes place, as it is regenerated at the end of each reaction cycle. The enzyme acts on (R)-3-(aryl)lactoyl-CoAs produced by FldA, and regenerates the CoA donors used by that enzyme.

Reaction: a 3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] = a 4-carboxy-3-alkylbut-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + H2O

Other name(s): aprF (gene name); corF (gene name); curE (gene name); pedL (gene name); 3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] dehydratase

Systematic name: 3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-acyl-[acyl-carrier protein] hydro-lyase

Comments: This family of enzymes participates in a process that introduces a methyl branch into nascent polyketide products. The process begins with EC 4.1.1.124, malonyl-[acp] decarboxylase, which converts the common extender unit malonyl-[acp] to acetyl-[acp]. The enzyme is a mutated form of a ketosynthase enzyme, in which a Cys residue in the active site is modified to a Ser residue, leaving the decarboxylase function intact, but nulifying the ability of the enzyme to form a carbon-carbon bond. Next, EC 2.3.3.22, 3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-acyl-[acp] synthase, utilizes the acetyl group to introduce the branch at the β position of 3-oxoacyl intermediates attached to a polyketide synthase, forming a 3-hydroxy-3-carboxymethyl intermediate. This is followed by dehydration catalysed by EC 4.2.1.181, 3-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-acyl-[acp] dehydratase (often referred to as an ECH1 domain), leaving a 3-carboxymethyl group and forming a double bond between the α and β carbons. The process concludes with decarboxylation catalysed by EC 4.1.1.125, 4-carboxy-3-alkylbut-2-enoyl-[acp] decarboxylase (often referred to as an ECH2 domain), leaving a methyl branch at the β carbon. The enzymes are usually encoded by a cluster of genes referred to as an "HMGS cassette", based on the similarity of the key enzyme to EC 2.3.3.10, hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase. cf. EC 4.2.1.18, methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase.
