ID 3.7.1.28 DE 3-oxoisoapionate-4-phosphate transcarboxylase/hydrolase. CA 3-oxoisoapionate 4-phosphate + H2O = (2R)-3-phosphoglycerate + glycolate CA + H(+). CC -!- The enzyme, which belongs to the RuBisCO-like-protein (RLP) CC superfamily, has been characterized from several bacterial species. CC -!- It participates in the degradation of D-apionate. CC -!- The reaction is initiated by decarboxylation to generate a stabilized CC enediolate intermediate, with the sequestered CO2 carboxylating the CC adjacent enediolate carbon atom. CC -!- The resulting 3-ketose-1-phosphate intermediate is hydrolyzed, as in CC the authentic RuBisCO-catalyzed reaction, to generate glycolate and CC 3-phospho-D-glycerate. CC -!- Stereospecificity of 3-oxoisoapionate 4-phosphate has not been CC determined. DR A7IJG7, OIAT_XANP2 ; //
