ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.1.80

Accepted Name
2-oxopent-4-enoate hydratase
Alternative Name(s)
2-keto-4-pentenoate hydratase
OEH
Reaction catalysed
(S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate = (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate + H2O
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is involved in the catechol meta-cleavage pathway, a major mechanism for degradation of aromatic compounds.
  • Also acts, more slowly, on cis-2-oxohex-4-enoate, but not on the trans-isomer.
  • The enzyme was named when it was thought that the substrate is 2-oxopent-4-enoate.
  • However, it was later found that the actual substrate is its tautomer (2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate.
  • In some organisms the enzyme forms a complex with EC 4.1.1.77.
