CommentThis enzyme catalyzes the second step in the degradation of 4-hydroxyphenylacetate to succinate and pyruvate. 4-hydroxyphenylacetate arises from the degradation of tyrosine. The substrate, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetate (homoprotocatechuate) arises from the action of a hydroxylase on 4-hydroxyphenylacetate. The aromatic ring is opened by this dioxygenase exo to the 3,4-diol resulting in 2-hydroxy-5-carboxymethylmuconate semialdehyde. The enzyme from Bacillus brevis contains manganese [1].
