ENZYME entry: EC 4.1.1.78

Accepted Name
acetylenedicarboxylate decarboxylase
Alternative Name(s)
acetylenedicarboxylate carboxy-lyase
acetylenedicarboxylate hydratase
Reaction catalysed
acetylenedicarboxylate + H(+) + H2O <=> CO2 + pyruvate
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.
