ID   4.1.1.123
DE   phenyl-phosphate phosphatase/carboxylase.
AN   phenyl phosphate carboxylase.
CA   4-hydroxybenzoate + H(+) + phosphate = CO2 + H2O + phenyl phosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Thauera aromatica,
CC       participates in an anaerobic phenol degradation pathway.
CC   -!- It catalyzes the para dephosphorylation and carboxylation of
CC       phenylphosphate to 4-hydroxybenzoate.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Thauera aromatica consists of four different subunits
CC       and requires K(+) and a divalent metal cation (Mg(2+) or Mn(2+)) for
CC       activity.
CC   -!- It is strongly inhibited by oxygen.
