Glossary:

(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate = (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxymuconate

Other name(s):

4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (misleading); 4-oxalocrotonate isomerase (misleading); cnbG (gene name); praC (gene name); xylH (gene name)

Systematic name:

(2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate keto—enol isomerase

Comments:

Involved in the meta-cleavage pathway for the degradation of phenols, modified phenols and catechols. The enol form (2Z,4E)-2-hydroxyhexa-2,4-dienedioate is produced as part of this pathway and is converted to the keto form (3E)-2-oxohex-3-enedioate by the enzyme [6]. Another keto form, (4E)-2-oxohex-4-enedioate (4-oxalocrotonate), was originally thought to be produced by the enzyme [1,2] but later shown to be produced non-enzymically [5].
