ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.1.78

Accepted Name
Acetylenedicarboxylate decarboxylase.
Alternative Name(s)
Acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase.
Acetylenedicarboxylate hydratase.
Reaction catalysed
Acetylenedicarboxylate + H(2)O <=> pyruvate + CO(2)
Comment(s)
The mechanism appears to involve hydration of the acetylene and decarboxylation of the oxaloacetic acid formed, although free oxaloacetate is not an intermediate. It is thus analogous to EC 4.2.1.71 in its mechanism. Formerly EC 4.2.1.72.
