| Sysname |
3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-phosphonoacetaldehyde-forming) |
| Reaction(IUBMB) |
3-phosphonopyruvate = 2-phosphonoacetaldehyde + CO2 [RN:R04053] |
| Reaction(KEGG) |
R04053
 |
| Substrate |
3-phosphonopyruvate [CPD:C02798] |
| Product |
2-phosphonoacetaldehyde [CPD:C03167];
CO2 [CPD:C00011] |
| Comment |
The enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthetic pathway of
2-aminoethylphosphonate, a component of the capsular polysaccharide
complex of Bacteroides fragilis. Requires thiamine diphosphate and
Mg2+ as cofactors. The enzyme is activated by the divalent cations
Mg2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+. Pyruvate and sulfopyruvate can also act as
substrates, but more slowly. This enzyme drives the reaction
catalysed by EC 5.4.2.9, phosphoenolpyruvate mutase, in the
thermodynamically unfavourable direction of 3-phosphonopyruvate
formation [2]. It is the initial step in all of the major
biosynthetic pathways of phosphonate natural products [3]. |
