EC 3.1.1.57

Accepted name: 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate lactonase

Reaction: 2-oxo-2H-pyran-4,6-dicarboxylate + H2O = (1E)-4-oxobut-1-ene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate

Other name(s): 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate hydrolase; 2-pyrone-4,6-dicarboxylate lactonohydrolase

Systematic name: 2-oxo-2H-pyran-4,6-dicarboxylate lactonohydrolase

Comments: The product is most likely the keto-form of 4-oxalomesaconate (shown) [1,2]. It can be converted to the enol-form, 4-hydroxybuta-1,3-diene-1,2,4-trioate, either spontaneously or by EC 5.3.2.8, 4-oxalomesaconate tautomerase [3].
