IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 4.1.1.82

Names

Accepted name:
phosphonopyruvate decarboxylase
Other name:
3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase
Systematic name:
3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-phosphonoacetaldehyde-forming)

Reaction

Cofactors

Comments:

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.
