Description | In methanobacteria (2R)-phospho-3-sulfolactate synthase (ComA) catalyses the first step of the biosynthesis of coenzyme M from phosphoenolpyruvate (P-enolpyruvate). This novel enzyme catalyses the stereospecific Michael addition of sulfite to P-enolpyruvate, forming L-2-phospho-3-sulfolactate (PSL). It is suggested that the ComA-catalysed reaction is analogous to those reactions catalysed by beta-elimination enzymes that proceed through an enolate intermediate [1]. |
