Sysname 3-oxopropanoate hydro-lyase (propynoate-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB) 3-oxopropanoate = propynoate + H2O [RN:R01611]
Reaction(KEGG) R01611;
(other) R01367
Show
Substrate 3-oxopropanoate [CPD:C00222]
Product propynoate [CPD:C00804];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment The reaction is effectively irreversible, favouring oxopropanoate
(malonic semialdehyde) and its tautomers. Also acts on but-3-ynoate
forming acetoacetate. The mechanism appears to involve hydration of
the acetylene to 3-hydroxypropenoate, which will spontaneously
tautomerize to 3-oxopropanoate. It is thus analogous to EC 4.1.1.78,
acetylenedicarboxylate decarboxylase, in its mechanism.
