Trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase

trans-o-Hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase (, 2′-hydroxybenzalpyruvate aldolase, NsaE, tHBPA hydratase-aldolase) is an enzyme with systematic name (3E)-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoate hydro-lyase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (3E)-4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ salicylaldehyde + pyruvate

This enzyme is involved in naphthalene degradation.
