EC 4.2.1.158

Accepted name: galactarate dehydratase (D-threo-forming)

Reaction: galactarate = (2S,3R)-2,3-dihydroxy-5-oxohexanedioate + H2O

Glossary: galactarate = (2R,3S,4R,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxyhexanedioate
(2S,3R)-2,3-dihydroxy-5-oxohexanedioate = 3-deoxy-D-threo-hex-2-ulosarate

Systematic name: galactarate hydro-lyase (3-deoxy-D-threo-hex-2-ulosarate-forming)

Comments: The enzyme has been characterized from the bacterium Oceanobacillus iheyensis. cf. EC 4.2.1.42, galactarate dehydratase.
