EC 4.1.1.82     
Accepted name: phosphonopyruvate decarboxylase
Reaction: 3-phosphonopyruvate = 2-phosphonoacetaldehyde + CO2

Other name(s): 3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase
Systematic name: 3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-phosphonoacetaldehyde-forming)
Comments: The enzyme catalyses a step in the biosynthetic pathway of 2-aminoethylphosphonate, a component of the capsular polysaccharide complex of Bacteroides fragilis. Requires thiamine diphosphate and Mg2+ as cofactors. The enzyme is activated by the divalent cations Mg2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+. Pyruvate and sulfopyruvate can also act as substrates, but more slowly. This enzyme drives the reaction catalysed by EC 5.4.2.9, phosphoenolpyruvate mutase, in the thermodynamically unfavourable direction of 3-phosphonopyruvate formation [2]. It is the initial step in all of the major biosynthetic pathways of phosphonate natural products [3].
