EC 4.2.3.124

Accepted name: 2-deoxy-scyllo-inosose synthase

Reaction: D-glucose 6-phosphate = 2-deoxy-L-scyllo-inosose + phosphate

Other name(s): btrC (gene name); neoC (gene name); kanC (gene name)

Systematic name: D-glucose-6-phosphate phosphate-lyase (2-deoxy-L-scyllo-inosose-forming)

Comments: Requires Co2+ [2]. Involved in the biosynthetic pathways of several clinically important aminocyclitol antibiotics, including kanamycin, butirosin, neomycin and ribostamycin. Requires an NAD+ cofactor, which is transiently reduced during the reaction [1,4]. The enzyme from the bacterium Bacillus circulans forms a complex with the glutamine amidotransferase subunit of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate synthase (EC 4.3.3.6), which appears to stabilize the complex [6,7].
