Methylthioribulose 1-phosphate dehydratase
In enzymology, a methylthioribulose 1-phosphate dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose 1-phosphate, and two products, 5--2,3-dioxopentyl phosphate and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose-1-phosphate 4-hydro-lyase . Other names in common use include 1-PMT-ribulose dehydratase, and S-methyl-5-thio-D-ribulose-1-phosphate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in methionine metabolism.
