EC 3.1.3.79 Details
EC number
3.1.3.79
Accepted name
mannosylfructose-phosphate phosphatase
Reaction
β-D-fructofuranosyl-α-D-mannopyranoside 6F-phosphate + H2O = β-D-fructofuranosyl-α-D-mannopyranoside + phosphate
Other name(s)
mannosylfructose-6-phosphate phosphatase, MFPP
Systematic name
β-D-fructofuranosyl-α-D-mannopyranoside-6F-phosphate phosphohydrolase
Comment
This enzyme, from the soil proteobacterium and plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58, requires Mg2+ for activity. Mannosylfructose is the major endogenous osmolyte produced by several α-proteobacteria in response to osmotic stress and is synthesized by the sequential action of EC 2.4.1.246 (mannosylfructose-phosphate synthase) followed by this enzyme. While mannosylfructose 6-phosphate is the physiological substrate, the enzyme can use sucrose 6-phosphate very efficiently. The F in mannosylfructose 6F-phosphate is used to indicate that the fructose residue of sucrose carries the substituent.
