EC 1.4.3.5

Accepted name: pyridoxal 5'-phosphate synthase

Reaction: (1) pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate + H2O + O2 = pyridoxal 5'-phosphate + NH3 + H2O2
(2) pyridoxine 5'-phosphate + O2 = pyridoxal 5'-phosphate + H2O2

Glossary: pyridoxamine = 4-aminomethyl-3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyridine

Other name(s): pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase; pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase; pyridoxine (pyridoxamine)phosphate oxidase; pyridoxine (pyridoxamine) 5'-phosphate oxidase; pyridoxaminephosphate oxidase (EC 1.4.3.5: deaminating); PMP oxidase; pyridoxol-5'-phosphate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating) (incorrect); pyridoxamine-phosphate oxidase; PdxH

Systematic name: pyridoxamine-5'-phosphate:oxygen oxidoreductase (deaminating)

Comments: A flavoprotein (FMN). In Escherichia coli, the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is synthesized de novo by a pathway that involves EC 1.2.1.72 (erythrose-4-phosphate dehydrogenase), EC 1.1.1.290 (4-phosphoerythronate dehydrogenase), EC 2.6.1.52 (phosphoserine transaminase), EC 1.1.1.262 (4-hydroxythreonine-4-phosphate dehydrogenase), EC 2.6.99.2 (pyridoxine 5'-phosphate synthase) and EC 1.4.3.5 (with pyridoxine 5'-phosphate as substrate). N4'-Substituted pyridoxamine derivatives are also oxidized in reaction (1) to form pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and the corresponding primary amine.
