EC 4.2.1.140     
Accepted name: gluconate/galactonate dehydratase
Reaction: (1) D-gluconate = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + H2O
(2) D-galactonate = 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate + H2O

Other name(s): gluconate dehydratase (ambiguous); Sso3198 (gene name); Pto0485 (gene name)
Systematic name: D-gluconate/D-galactonate hydro-lyase
Comments: The enzyme is involved in glucose and galactose catabolism via the nonphosphorylative variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Picrophilus torridus [3] and via the branched variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway in Sulfolobus solfataricus [1,2]. In vitro it utilizes D-gluconate with 6-10 fold higher catalytic efficiency than D-galactonate [1,3]. It requires Mg2+ for activity [1,2]. cf. EC 4.2.1.6, galactonate dehydratase, and EC 4.2.1.39, gluconate dehydratase.
