KEGG   ENZYME: 4.1.1.78
Entry
EC 4.1.1.78                 Enzyme                                 
Name
acetylenedicarboxylate decarboxylase;
acetylenedicarboxylate hydratase;
acetylenedicarboxylate hydrase;
acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-carbon lyases;
Carboxy-lyases
Sysname
acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase (pyruvate-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
acetylenedicarboxylate + H2O = pyruvate + CO2 [RN:R00218]
Reaction(KEGG)
R00218;
(other) R04177
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.
History
