Type:  Family Name:  L-fucose phosphate aldolase
Description:  L-fuculose phosphate aldolase converts L-fuculose 1-phosphate to glycerone phosphate + (S)-lactaldehyde. The structure of the class II zinc-ion dependent L-fuculose-1-phosphate aldolase from Escherichia colihas been established at 1.92 A resolution. The homo-tetrameric enzyme has a molecular mass of 4 x 24 kDa and follows C(4) symmetry. The four catalytic centres are located in deep clefts at the interfaces of adjacent subunits. The zinc ion is coordinated by three histidines and one glutamate in an almost tetrahedral arrangement. In contrast to numerous other catalytically competent zinc ions, there is no water molecule in the ligand sphere. Sequence homology searches revealed a significant similarity to the bacterial L-ribulose-5-phosphate 4-epimerase, []. Short Name:  FucA
