- 5-oxopent-3-ene-1,2,5-tricarboxylate 2-oxohept-3-enedioate + CO2
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-oxopent-3-ene-1,2,5-tricarboxylate carboxy-lyase (2-oxohept-3-enedioate-forming). Other names in common use include 5-carboxymethyl-2-oxo-hex-3-ene-1,6-dioate decarboxylase, and 5-oxopent-3-ene-1,2,5-tricarboxylate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism.
Structural studies edit
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1I7O.
