IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.1.3.77

Names

Accepted name:
acireductone synthase
Other names:
E1
E-1 enolase-phosphatase
Systematic name:
5-(methylsulfanyl)-2,3-dioxopentyl-phosphate phosphohydrolase (isomerizing)

Reaction

Comments:

This bifunctional enzyme first enolizes the substrate to form the intermediate 2-hydroxy-5-(methylsulfanyl)-3-oxopent-1-enyl phosphate, which is then dephosphorylated to form the acireductone 1,2-dihydroxy-5-(methylsulfanyl)pent-1-en-3-one [2]. The acireductone represents a branch point in the methione-salvage pathway as it is used in the formation of formate, CO and 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate by EC 1.13.11.53 [acireductone dioxygenase (Ni2+-requiring)] and of formate and 4-(methylsulfanyl)-2-oxobutanoate either by a spontaneous reaction under aerobic conditions or by EC 1.13.11.54 {acireductone dioxygenase [iron(II)-requiring]} [1,2].
