Reaction 1
reaction SMARTS
Description Phosphate-dependent purine nucleoside phosphorylase that catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of 5′-fluoro-5′-deoxyadenosine (5′-FDA), yielding adenine and a fluorinated sugar phosphate. This reaction constitutes a key step in microbial organofluorine biosynthesis, channeling fluorinated intermediates toward fluoroacetate and 4-fluorothreonine production. Gene inactivation abolishes downstream fluorometabolite formation, supporting its essential role in pathway flux.
