2-Succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic-acid synthase (EC 2.2.1.9 SEPHCHC synthase MenD) is an enzyme with system name isochorismate:2-oxoglutarate 4-oxopentanoatetransferase (decarboxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction isochorismate + 2-oxoglutarate 5-enolpyruvoyl-6-hydroxy-2-succinyl-cyclohex-3-ene-1-carboxylate + CO2Requires Mg2+ for maximal activity.
