ID   2.7.7.93
DE   phosphonoformate cytidylyltransferase.
CA   CTP + phosphonoformate = CMP-5'-phosphonoformate + diphosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces
CC       viridochromogenes, participates in the biosynthesis of the herbicide
CC       antibiotic bialaphos.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Kitasatospora phosalacinea participates
CC       in the biosynthesis of the related compound phosalacine.
CC   -!- Both compounds contain the nonproteinogenic amino acid
CC       L-phosphinothricin that acts as a potent inhibitor of EC 6.3.1.2.
