EC 4.2.3.230

Accepted name: 2-deoxy-4-epi-scyllo-inosose synthase

Reaction: D-mannose 6-phosphate = 2-deoxy-4-epi-scyllo-inosose + phosphate

Glossary: 2-deoxy-4-epi-scyllo-inosose = (2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydroxycyclohexan-1-one

Other name(s): eboD (gene name)

Systematic name: D-mannose-6-phosphate phosphate-lyase (2-deoxy-4-epi-scyllo-inosose-forming)

Comments: Requires Co2+ or Ni2+. The enzyme has been characterized from the cyanobacterium Nostoc punctiforme and the Gram-negative cellulose degrading bacterium Sporocytophaga myxococcoides. cf. EC 4.2.3.124, 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase
