  4.2.1.110 | 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose |
1,5-anhydro-D-fructose = 2-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one + H2O (overall reaction), (1a) 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose = 1,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-D-glycero-hex-3-en-2-ulose + H2O, (1b) 1,5-anhydro-4-deoxy-D-glycero-hex-3-en-2-ulose = 2-hydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-2H-pyran-3(6H)-one. This enzyme catalyses two of the steps in the anhydrofructose pathway, which leads to the degradation of glycogen and starch via 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose [1,2]. The other enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 4.2.1.111 (1,5-anhydro-D-fructose dehydratase), EC 4.2.2.13 (exo-(1,4)-alpha-D-glucan lyase) and EC 5.3.3.15 (ascopyrone tautomerase). This is a bifunctional enzyme that acts as both a lyase and as an isomerase. Differs from EC 4.2.1.111, which can carry out only reaction 1a |
