1.1.1.103 |
Accepted name: |
L-threonine 3-dehydrogenase |
Reaction: |
L-threonine + NAD+ = L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate + NADH + H+ |
Other name(s): |
L-threonine dehydrogenase; threonine 3-dehydrogenase; threonine dehydrogenase; TDH |
Systematic name: |
L-threonine:NAD+ oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
This enzyme acts in concert with EC 2.3.1.29, glycine C-acetyltransferase, in the degradation of threonine to glycine. This threonine-degradation pathway is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the two enzymes involved form a complex [2]. In aqueous solution, the product L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate can spontaneously decarboxylate to form aminoacetone. |

1.1.1.381 |
Accepted name: |
3-hydroxy acid dehydrogenase |
Reaction: |
L-allo-threonine + NADP+ = aminoacetone + CO2 + NADPH + H+ (overall reaction) (1a) L-allo-threonine + NADP+ = L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate + NADPH + H+ (1b) L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate = aminoacetone + CO2 (spontaneous) |
Glossary: |
L-allo-threonine = (2S,3S)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid
aminoacetone = 1-aminopropan-2-one
L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate = (2S)-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate |
Other name(s): |
ydfG (gene name); YMR226c (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
L-allo-threonine:NADP+ 3-oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows activity with a range of 3- and 4-carbon 3-hydroxy acids. The highest activity is seen with L-allo-threonine and D-threonine. The enzyme from Escherichia coli also shows high activity with L-serine, D-serine, (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate and (R)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropanoate. The enzyme has no activity with NAD+ or L-threonine (cf. EC 1.1.1.103, L-threonine 3-dehydrogenase). |

Systematic name: |
acetyl-CoA:glycine C-acetyltransferase |
Comments: |
This is a pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent enzyme that acts in concert with EC 1.1.1.103, L-threonine 3-dehydrogenase, in the degradation of threonine to form glycine [3]. This threonine degradation pathway is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the two enzymes involved form a complex [4]. |
