This enzyme acts in concert with EC 2.3.1.29, glycine C-acetyltransferase, in the degradation of threonine to glycine. This threonine-degradation pathway is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the two enzymes involved form a complex . In aqueous solution, the product L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate can spontaneously decarboxylate to form aminoacetone.

L-threonine:NAD+ oxidoreductase
This enzyme acts in concert with EC 2.3.1.29, glycine C-acetyltransferase, in the degradation of threonine to glycine. This threonine-degradation pathway is common to prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and the two enzymes involved form a complex [2]. In aqueous solution, the product L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoate can spontaneously decarboxylate to form aminoacetone.
over-expression of a feedback-resistant threonine operon thrA*BC, with deletion of the genes that encode threonine dehydrogenase tdh and threonine transporters tdcC and sstT, and introduction of a mutant threonine exporter rhtA23 in Escherichia coliMDS42. The resulting strain shows about 83% increase in L-threonine production when cells are grown by flask fermentation, compared to a wild-type Escherichia coli strain MG1655 engineered with the same threonine-specific modifications described above
