4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase:
3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)pyruvate + dioxygen→homogentisate + CO₂ (EC 1.13.11.27)

Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase:
homogentisate + dioxygen→4-maleyl-acetoacetate + H⁺ (EC 1.13.11.5)

Maleylacetoacetate isomerase:
4-maleyl-acetoacetate→4-fumaryl-acetoacetate (EC 5.2.1.2)

Fumarylacetoacetase:
4-fumaryl-acetoacetate + H₂O→acetoacetate + fumarate + H⁺ (EC 3.7.1.2)

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
