Systematic name: ATP:(R)-5-phosphomevalonate carboxy-lyase (adding ATP; isopentenyl-phosphate-forming)
Comments: The enzyme participates in a mevalonate pathway that occurs in halophilic archaea. The activity is also present in eubacteria of the Chloroflexi phylum. cf. EC 4.1.1.33, diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase, and EC 4.1.1.110, bisphosphomevalonate decarboxylase.
Comments: The enzyme participates in a mevalonate pathway that occurs in archaea other than the extreme acidophiles of the Thermoplasmatales order. cf. EC 4.1.1.110, bisphosphomevalonate decarboxylase
