The possible involvement of an isomerase in the 4‐hydroxyphenylacetate meta‐cleavage pathway has been studied. 5‐Carboxymethyl‐2‐hydroxymuconate has been shown to undergo both spontaneous and enzymecatalysed isomerisation to give 5‐carboxymethyl‐2‐oxo‐hex‐3‐ene‐1,6‐dioate, a compound with an absorbance maximum at 246 nm. The latter compound rather than the former is the substrate for a decarboxylase that produces 2‐hydroxyhepta‐2,4‐diene‐1,7‐dioate. The isomerase and decarboxylase enzymes have been purified to over 90% homogeneity. Mg2+ is required for the decarboxylase reaction but not for the isomerase.
