Name acetylenedicarboxylate decarboxylase;
acetylenedicarboxylate hydratase;
acetylenedicarboxylate hydrase;
acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase
Class Lyases;

BRITE hierarchy
Sysname acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase (pyruvate-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB) acetylenedicarboxylate + H2O = pyruvate + CO2 [RN:R00218]
Reaction(KEGG) R00218;
(other) R04177
Show
Substrate acetylenedicarboxylate [CPD:C03248];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product pyruvate [CPD:C00022];
CO2 [CPD:C00011]
Comment The mechanism appears to involve hydration of the acetylene and
decarboxylation of the oxaloacetic acid formed, although free
oxaloacetate is not an intermediate. It is thus analogous to EC
4.2.1.27 (acetylenecarboxylate hydratase) in its mechanism.
