EC 5.5.1.7

Accepted name: chloromuconate cycloisomerase

Reaction: (2R)-2-chloro-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate = 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconate

Glossary: (2R)-2-chloro-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate = (+)-4-chloromuconolactone
3-chloro-cis,cis-muconate = (2E,4Z)-3-chlorohexa-2,4-dienedioate

Other name(s): muconate cycloisomerase II; 2-chloro-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate lyase (decyclizing); 2-chloro-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate lyase (ring-opening)

Systematic name: (2R)-2-chloro-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate lyase (ring-opening)

Comments: Requires Mn2+. The product of cycloisomerization of 3-chloro-cis,cis-muconate spontaneously eliminates chloride to produce cis-4-carboxymethylenebut-2-en-4-olide. Also acts (in the reverse direction) on 2-chloro-cis,cis-muconate. Not identical with EC 5.5.1.1 (muconate cycloisomerase) or EC 5.5.1.11 (dichloromuconate cycloisomerase).
