EC 4.1.99.21 Details
EC number
4.1.99.21
Accepted name
(5-formylfuran-3-yl)methyl phosphate synthase
Reaction
(5-formylfuran-3-yl)methyl phosphate + phosphate + 2 H2O = 2 D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
Other name(s)
mfnB (gene name), 4-HFC-P synthase, 2-furaldehyde phosphate synthase
Systematic name
4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarboxaldehyde phosphate lyase
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the reaction in the direction of producing (5-formylfuran-3-yl)methyl phosphate, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of methanofuran. Methanofuran is a carbon-carrier cofactor involved in the first step of the methanogenic reduction of carbon dioxide by methanogenic archaea.
