EC 5.3.2.6 Details
EC number
5.3.2.6
Accepted name
2-hydroxymuconate tautomerase
Reaction
(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate = (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate
Other name(s)
4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (misleading), 4-oxalocrotonate isomerase (misleading), cnbG (gene name), praC (gene name), xylH (gene name)
Systematic name
(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate ketoenol isomerase
Comment
Involved in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, modified phenols and catechols. The enol form (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate is produced as part of this pathway and is converted to the keto form (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate by the enzyme [6]. Another keto form, (4E)-2-oxohex-4-enedioate (4-oxalocrotonate), was originally thought to be produced by the enzyme [1,2] but later shown to be produced non-enzymically [5].
