4.1.2.5
Activity 4.1.2.5
Description Threonine aldolase
Notes Heterogeneous family, strictly related to fungal alanine racemases (family 5.1.1.1_b) and to phenylserine aldolases (family 4.1.2.26).
Indeed, many of the characterized bacterial enzymes can also carry out the phenylserine aldolase reaction.

Part of the heterogeneity of the family can be attributed to differences in substrate speciticity. In fact, L-threonine aldolases can be subdivided into three sub-types: L-specific threonine aldolases, which preferably cleave L-threonine; l-allo-threonine aldolase, which cleave l-allo-threonine; and low specificity threonine aldolases, that accept both l-Thr and l-allo-Thr as substrates.
