SLG_19060 | Putative aldolase. (221 aa) | ||||
ligK | 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-oxoadipate aldolase; Contributes to the degradation of lignin, being involved in the final step of the protocatechuate 4,5-cleavage pathway. Catalyzes the conversion of 4-carboxy-4-hydroxy-2-oxoadipate (CHA, also named 2- hydroxy-4-oxobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylate) to pyruvate and oxaloacetate but also the decarboxylation of oxaloacetate to pyruvate and CO2. Is essential for catabolism and utilization of vanillate and syringate. Is also able to catalyze the formation of 4-hydroxy- 4-methyl-2-oxoglutarate (HMG) from two molecules of pyruvate ; Belongs to the LigK/PcmE [...] (228 aa) |
