Structural highlights
FunctionALF_ECOLI Catalyzes the aldol condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP or glycerone-phosphate) with glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) to form fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) in gluconeogenesis and the reverse reaction in glycolysis.[1] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedPreviously determined crystal structures of the zinc enzyme Escherichia coli class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase display good agreement for the protein structure but a differing metal-ion organization in the active site. The structure of the enzyme with Cd(2+) in place of Zn(2+) has now been determined to 2.0 A resolution to facilitate cation identification. The protein structure was essentially identical to other structures and five Cd(2+) positions were identified. Two of the cations are at the active site; one corresponds to the catalytic ion and the other provides a structural contribution. These Cd(2+) sites are equivalent to two Zn(2+) ions observed when the enzyme is complexed with a transition-state mimic and confirm our assignment of the roles played by these ions.
