Enzyme Information

3.1.3.71
2-phosphosulfolactate phosphatase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9WZQ4
(2R)-2-phospho-3-sulfolactate + H(2)O = (2R)-3-sulfolactate + phosphate.
-!- The enzyme from Methanococcus jannaschii acts on both stereoisoimers of the substrate and also hydrolyzes a number of phosphate monoesters of (S)-2-hydroxycarboxylic acids, including 2-phosphomalate, 2-phospholactate and 2-phosphoglycolate. -!- This enzyme can also hydrolyze phosphate monoesters of (R)-2- hydroxycarboxylic acids such as (S)-2-phospho-3-sulfolactate and (R)- 2-phosphomalate, which, presumably, bind to the enzyme in opposite orientations.
