Description: | This entry represents 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase. This protein is characterised (indirectly) in Pseudomonas sp.(strain CF600) and was inactive except when co-expressed with DmpE, 2-oxopent-4-enoate hydratase, a homologous protein from the same operon []. Both of these enzymes are active in the degradation of catechol, a common intermediate in the degradation of aromatic compounds such as benzoate, toluene, phenol, dimethylphenol (dmp), salicylate, etc. | Short Name: | 4-oxalocrotonate_decarboxylase |
