4.1.2.42
Description D-threonine aldolase, low specificity
Alternative names D-TA;
DTA;
low specificity D-TA;
low specificity D-threonine aldolase.
Catalyzed reaction (1) D-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde
(2) D-allothreonine = glycine + acetaldehyde
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate and Mn(II)
Comments A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that is activated by divalent metal cations (e.g. Co2+, Ni2+, Mn2+ or Mg2+).
The reaction is reversible, which can lead to the interconversion of D-threonine and D-allothreonine.

Several other D-β-hydroxy-α-amino acids, such as D-β-phenylserine, D-β-hydroxy-α-aminovaleric acid and D-β-3,4-dihydroxyphenylserine, can also act as substrate.
