IUBMB Comments
Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for maximal activity . The enzyme is specific for D-ribulose 5-phosphate as substrate as ribose 5-phosphate, xylulose 5-phosphate, allulose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate cannot act as substrate. In addition to formaldehyde, the enzyme can also use glycolaldehyde and methylglyoxal . This enzyme, along with EC 5.3.1.27, 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase, plays a key role in the ribulose-monophosphate cycle of formaldehyde fixation, which is present in many microorganisms that are capable of utilizing C1-compounds . The hyperthermophilic and anaerobic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 constitutively produces a bifunctional enzyme that sequentially catalyses the reactions of this enzyme and EC 5.3.1.27, 6-phospho-3-hexuloisomerase . This enzyme is a member of the orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (OMPDC) suprafamily .
