In enzymology, a 3-deoxy-8-phosphooctulonate synthase (EC 2.5.1.55) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

phosphoenolpyruvate + D-arabinose 5-phosphate + H2O 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-octonate 8-phosphate + phosphate

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are phosphoenolpyruvate, D-arabinose 5-phosphate, and H2O, whereas its two products are 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-octonate 8-phosphate and phosphate.

This enzyme participates in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis.

Nomenclature[edit]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphoenolpyruvate:D-arabinose-5-phosphate C-(1-carboxyvinyl)transferase (phosphate-hydrolysing, 2-carboxy-2-oxoethyl-forming). Other names in common use include 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-octonate-8-phosphate, D-arabinose-5-phosphate-lyase (pyruvate-phosphorylating), 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-phosphooctonate aldolase, 2-keto-3-deoxy-8-phosphooctonic synthetase, 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate-8-phosphate synthase, 3-deoxy-D-mannooctulosonate-8-phosphate synthetase, 3-deoxyoctulosonic 8-phosphate synthetase, KDOP synthase, and phospho-2-keto-3-deoxyoctonate aldolase.
