Entry
EC 4.2.1.166                Enzyme                                 
Name
phosphinomethylmalate isomerase;
pmi (gene name)
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Hydro-lyases
Sysname
2-(phosphinomethyl)malate hydro-lyase [3-(phosphinomethyl)malate-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate = 3-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate (overall reaction) [RN:R11408];
(1a) 2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate = 2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate + H2O;
(1b) 2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate + H2O = 3-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate
Reaction(KEGG)
R11408
Substrate
2-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate;
2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate;
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
3-(hydroxyphosphonoylmethyl)malate;
2-(phosphinatomethylidene)butanedioate;
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Streptomyces viridochromogenes, is involved in bialaphos biosynthesis. The enzyme from the bacterium Kitasatospora phosalacinea participates in the biosynthesis of the related compound phosalacine. Both compounds contain the nonproteinogenic amino acid L-phosphinothricin that acts as a potent inhibitor of EC 6.3.1.2, glutamine synthetase. The similar enzyme EC 4.2.1.3, aconitate hydratase, cannot catalyse this reaction.
