Reaction: isophthalyl-CoA = benzoyl-CoA + CO2
Other name(s): IPCD
Systematic name: isophthalyl-CoA carboxy-lyase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Syntrophorhabdus aromaticivorans, participates in an anaerobic isophthalate degradation pathway. The enzyme requires a prenylated flavin mononucleotide cofactor.
