Phosphopyruvate hydratase (enolase) is a Mg2+-dependent dehydratase of glycolysis. It converts 2-phospho-D-glycerate into phosphoenolpyruvate and water, the penultimate step of glycolysis; it also acts on 3-phospho-D-erythronate. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms and is also a cytosolic and surface-localized plasminogen-binding moonlighting protein. Structurally it is a TIM-barrel enolase-superfamily enzyme.
