Reaction: (R)-5-phosphomevalonate = trans-anhydromevalonate 5-phosphate + H2O
Glossary: trans-anhydromevalonate 5-phosphate = (2E)-3-methyl-5-phosphooxypent-2-enoate
Systematic name: R-5-phosphomevalonate hydro-lyase
Comments: The enzyme catalyses a step in an archaeal prenyl diphosphate biosynthesis pathway. It belongs to the aconitase X family, and contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
