Catalysis of the cleavage of a C-C bond in a molecule containing a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group to form two smaller molecules, each being an aldehyde or a ketone. Catalysis of the cleavage of C-C bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. Catalysis of the reaction: L-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde. Catalysis of the reaction: L-allo-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde.
