This domain includes the enzyme Phosphoenolpyruvate phosphomutase (EC:5.4.2.9). This protein Swiss:O86937 has been characterised as catalysing the formation of a carbon-phosphorus bond by converting phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to phosphonopyruvate (P-Pyr) [1]. This enzyme has a TIM barrel fold.
Phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) mutase catalyses the conversion of PEP to 3-phosphonopyruvate which is the P-C bond forming step of the biosynthetic pathways leading to phosphonate natural products. Phosphonates are secondary metabolites, some of which have antibiotic activity. The structure of the enzyme is that of a modified alpha-beta barrel with only 7 beta sheets in the core of the barrel.
