2.8.3.22 |
Accepted name: |
succinyl-CoA—L-malate CoA-transferase |
Reaction: |
(1) succinyl-CoA + (S)-malate = succinate + (S)-malyl-CoA (2) succinyl-CoA + (S)-citramalate = succinate + (S)-citramalyl-CoA |
Glossary: |
(S)-citramalate = (2S)-2-hydroxy-2-methylbutanedioate
(S)-malate = (2S)-2-hydroxybutanedioate
(S)-malyl-CoA = (3S)-3-carboxy-3-hydroxypropanoyl-CoA |
Other name(s): |
SmtAB |
Systematic name: |
succinyl-CoA:(S)-malate CoA-transferase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus, can also accept itaconate as acceptor, with lower efficiency. It is part of the 3-hydroxypropanoate cycle for carbon assimilation. |
