| Synonyms |
(2R)-O-phospho-3-sulfolactate sulfo-lyase, (2R)-phospho-3-sulfolactate synthase, ComA, phosphosulfolactate synthase, XAUT_RS24680, Xcb1, XcbB1 |
| EC Number |
4.4.1.19 |
| CAS Registry Number |
|
| Comments |
Requires Mg2+. The enzyme from?Methanococcus jannaschii?catalyses the Michael addition of sulfite to phosphoenolpyruvate. It specifically requires phosphoenolpyruvate and its broad alkaline pH optimum suggests that it uses sulfite rather than hydrogensulfite. |
| Cofactor |
Mg2+ |
| History |
