Reaction: 2-hydroxyethylphosphonate + CTP = cytidine 5'-{[hydroxy(2-hydroxyethyl)phosphonoyl]phosphate} + diphosphate
Other name(s): Fom1
Systematic name: CTP:2-hydroxyethylphosphonate cytidylyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Streptomyces wedmorensis, is involved in fosfomycin biosynthesis. The enzyme also is active as EC 5.4.2.9 phosphoenolpyruvate mutase.
