== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/DGOA_ECOLI DGOA_ECOLI] Involved in the degradation of galactose via the DeLey-Doudoroff pathway. Catalyzes the reversible, stereospecific retro-aldol cleavage of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) to pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. In the synthetic direction, it catalyzes the addition of pyruvate to electrophilic aldehydes with re-facial selectivity. It can use a limited number of aldehyde substrates, including D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (natural substrate), D-glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, D-ribose, D-erythrose and D-threose. It efficiently catalyzes aldol addition only using pyruvate as the nucleophilic component and accepts both stereochemical configurations at C2 of the electrophile.<ref>PMID:324806</ref> <ref>PMID:17981470</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
2-Keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (KDPG) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) aldolases catalyze an identical reaction differing in substrate specificity in only the configuration of a single stereocenter. However, the proteins show little sequence homology at the amino acid level. Here we investigate the determinants of substrate selectivity of these enzymes. The Escherichia coli KDPGal aldolase gene, cloned into a T7 expression vector and overexpressed in E. coli, catalyzes retro-aldol cleavage of the natural substrate, KDPGal, with values of k(cat)/K(M) and k(cat) of 1.9x10(4)M(-1)s(-1) and 4s(-1), respectively. In the synthetic direction, KDPGal aldolase efficiently catalyzes an aldol addition using a limited number of aldehyde substrates, including d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (natural substrate), d-glyceraldehyde, glycolaldehyde, and 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. A preparative scale reaction between 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde and pyruvate catalyzed by KDPGal aldolase produced the aldol adduct of the R stereochemistry in &gt;99.7% ee, a result complementary to that observed using the related KDPG aldolase. The native crystal structure has been solved to a resolution of 2.4A and displays the same (alpha/beta)(8) topology, as KDPG aldolase. We have also determined a 2.1A structure of a Schiff base complex between the enzyme and its substrate. This model predicts that a single amino acid change, T161 in KDPG aldolase to V154 in KDPGal aldolase, plays an important role in determining the stereochemical course of enzyme catalysis and this prediction was borne out by site-directed mutagenesis studies. However, additional changes in the enzyme sequence are required to prepare an enzyme with both high catalytic efficiency and altered stereochemistry.
