| Official Name |
|---|
| Phosphonopyruvate decarboxylase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| 3-phosphonopyruvate <=> 2-phosphonoacetaldehyde + CO(2) |
| Cofactor(s) |

| Magnesium; Thiamine diphosphate.
|
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Catalyzes a step in the biosynthetic pathway of
2-aminoethylphosphonate, a component of the capsular polysaccharide
complex of Bacteroides fragilis.
- Activated by the divalent cations Mg(2+), Ca(2+) and Mn(2+).
- Pyruvate and sulfopyruvate can also act as substrates, but more
slowly.
