Namephosphonates C-P lyase system
TypeSYSTEM
DescriptionPhosphonates are compounds similar to phosphates, but in which a direct carbon-phosphorous bond replaces a carbon-oxygen-phosphorous linkage. They chelate metals, adsorb strongly to surfaces, and are produced and used industrially to prevent formation of scale on surfaces. The C-P bond is remarkably stable compared to phosphate bonds, and phosphonate utilization is rather uncommon. While some enzymes with fairly narrow specificity are known that cleave the most common naturally occurring phosphonates, this property describes a multisubunit C-P lyase system with broad specificity. The specificity may differ from one case to another, and two systems with overlapping but non-identical specificities may occur in a single genome.
