KEGG   ENZYME: 4.1.1.93
Entry
EC 4.1.1.93                 Enzyme                                 
Name
pyrrole-2-carboxylate decarboxylase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-carbon lyases;
Carboxy-lyases
Sysname
pyrrole-2-carboxylate carboxy-lyase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) pyrrole-2-carboxylate = pyrrole + CO2 [RN:R09794];
(2) pyrrole-2-carboxylate + H2O = pyrrole + HCO3- [RN:R09795]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09794 R09795
Substrate
pyrrole-2-carboxylate [CPD:C05942];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
pyrrole [CPD:C19907];
CO2 [CPD:C00011];
HCO3- [CPD:C00288]
Comment
The enzyme catalyses both the carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions. However, while bicarbonate is the preferred substrate for the carboxylation reaction, decarboxylation produces carbon dioxide. The enzyme is activated by carboxylic acids.
