2.3.3.19

Accepted name:

2-phosphonomethylmalate synthase

Reaction:

acetyl-CoA + H₂O + 3-phosphonopyruvate = (R)-2-(phosphonomethyl)malate + CoA

Other name(s):

2-phosphinomethylmalic acid synthase; PMM synthase

Systematic name:

acetyl-CoA:3-phosphonopyruvate C-acetyltransferase

Comments:

The enzyme, isolated from several Streptomyces species, participate in the biosynthesis of certain phosphonate antibiotics. The enzyme is analogous to EC 2.3.3.1 (Si)-citrate synthase.
