| EC Number | 4.1.3.17 |
| CAS Registry Number | 37290-65-6 |
| Comments | Requires a divalent metal ion [3]. This enzyme participates in the degradation of protocatechuate (via the meta-cleavage pathway), phthalate, syringate and gallate [1-3]. The enzyme from?Pseudomonas ochraceae?can also cleave 4-hydroxy-2-oxoglutarate to glyoxylate and pyruvate, and also catalyses the reaction of EC?4.1.1.3?(oxaloacetate decarboxylase) [3]. |
| Cofactor | divalent cation |
| History | |
| Reactions | (1) 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoglutarate = 2 pyruvate. (2) 2-hydroxy-4-oxobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate = oxaloacetate + pyruvate. |
