EC 4.1.1.77 Details
EC number
4.1.1.77
Accepted name
2-oxo-3-hexenedioate decarboxylase
Reaction
(3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate = 2-oxopent-4-enoate + CO2
Other name(s)
4-oxalocrotonate carboxy-lyase (misleading), 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase (misleading), cnbF (gene name), praD (gene name), amnE (gene name), nbaG (gene name), xylI (gene name)
Systematic name
(3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate carboxy-lyase (2-oxopent-4-enoate-forming)
CAS registry number
37325-55-6
Comment
Involved in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, modified phenols and catechols. The enzyme has been reported to accept multiple tautomeric forms [1-4]. However, careful analysis of the stability of the different tautomers, as well as characterization of the enzyme that produces its substrate, EC 5.3.2.6, 2-hydroxymuconate tautomerase, showed that the actual substrate for the enzyme is (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate [4].
