(2R)-2-phosphoglycerate = H2O + phosphoenolpyruvate Mg(2+) is required for catalysis and for stabilizing the dimer. Carbohydrate degradation; glycolysis; pyruvate from D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate: step 4/5. Homodimer. Expressed preferentially in the tachyzoite stage. While ENO1 and ENO2 display similar K(m) values, the pure tachyzoite-specific enzyme (ENO2) has a threefold specific activity at V(max) compared with that of the bradyzoite-specific enolase (ENO1). Belongs to the enolase family.
