- Carboxy-cis,cis-muconate cyclase
In
enzymology , a carboxy-cis,cis-muconate cyclase (EC number|5.5.1.5) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :3-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
3-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate , and one product,3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically the class of intramolecular lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate lyase (decyclizing). This enzyme is also called 3-carboxymuconate cyclase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation viahydroxylation .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|1JOF.
