Reaction: 1-carboxyvinyl carboxyphosphonate = 3-(hydroxyphosphinoyl)pyruvate + CO2
Systematic name: 1-carboxyvinyl carboxyphosphonate phosphorylmutase (decarboxylating)
Comments: catalyses the transfer and decarboxylation of the carboxy(hydroxy)phosphoryl group, HOOC-P(O)(OH)- (phosphoryl being a 3-valent group), in the formation of an unusual C-P bond that is involved in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic bialaphos.
