L-allo-Threonine aldolase (L-allo-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase), which exhibited specificity for L-allo-threonine but not for L-threonine, was purified from a cell-free extract of Aeromonas jandaei DK-39. The purified enzyme catalyzed the aldol cleavage reaction of L-allo-threonine (K(m) = 1.45 mM, Vmax = 45.2 mumol min-1 mg-1). The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by carbonyl reagents, which suggests that pyridoxal-5'-phosphate participates in the enzymatic reaction. The enzyme does not act on either L-serine or L-threonine, and thus it can be distinguished from serine hydroxy-methyltransferase (L-serine:tetrahydrofolate 5,10-hydroxy-methyltransferase, EC 2.1.2.1) or L-threonine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.5).
L-别苏氨酸醛缩酶(L-别苏氨酸乙醛裂解酶),对L-别苏氨酸具有特异性,而对L-苏氨酸无特异性,从詹氏气单胞菌DK-39的无细胞提取物中纯化得到。纯化后的酶催化L-别苏氨酸的醛醇裂解反应(米氏常数Km = 1.45 mM,最大反应速度Vmax = 45.2 μmol min⁻¹ mg⁻¹)。该酶的活性受到羰基试剂的抑制,这表明磷酸吡哆醛参与了酶促反应。该酶对L-丝氨酸或L-苏氨酸均无作用,因此可与丝氨酸羟甲基转移酶(L-丝氨酸:四氢叶酸5,10-羟甲基转移酶,EC 2.1.2.1)或L-苏氨酸醛缩酶(EC 4.1.2.5)区分开来。
