Other name(s): 2-keto-4-pentenoate hydratase; OEH; 2-keto-4-pentenoate (vinylpyruvate)hydratase; 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate hydro-lyase; 4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate hydro-lyase (2-oxopent-4-enoate-forming); mhpD (gene name); ahdF (gene name); todG (gene name); cmtF (gene name); xylJ (gene name); cnbE (gene name)
Systematic name: (S)-4-hydroxy-2-oxopentanoate hydro-lyase ((2Z)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate-forming)
Comments: 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, 2-oxo-3-hexenedioate decarboxylase (previously named 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase).
