Figure 1

Branched Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway in Thermoproteus tenax. The common ED shunt comprises the conversion of glucose into 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG), which is either phosphorylated and cleaved forming pyruvate and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (GAP) in the semi-phosphorylative ED branch (left side) or directly cleaved forming pyruvate and glyceraldehyde in the non-phosphorylative branch (right side). Enzyme key: 1, glucose dehydrogenase; 2, gluconate dehydratase (GAD); 3, 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate (KDG) kinase; 4, 2-keto-3-deoxy-(6-phospho)gluconate (KD(P)G) aldolase; 5, non-phosphorylating GAP dehydrogenase (GAPN) or GAP oxidoreductase; 6, phosphoglycerate mutase; 7, enolase; 8, pyruvate kinase; 9, aldehyde dehydrogenase or aldehyde oxidoreductase; 10, glycerate kinase.
