ID 4.1.1.77 DE 2-oxo-3-hexenedioate decarboxylase. AN 4-oxalocrotonate carboxy-lyase. AN 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase. CA (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate + H(+) = 2-oxopent-4-enoate + CO2. CC -!- Involved in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, CC modified phenols and catechols. CC -!- The enzyme has been reported to accept multiple tautomeric forms. CC -!- However, careful analysis of the stability of the different CC tautomers, as well as characterization of the enzyme that produces CC its substrate, EC 5.3.2.6, showed that the actual substrate for the CC enzyme is (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate.
