2-ethylmalate synthase

Class of enzymes 2-ethylmalate synthase 2.3.3.6 9024-01-5 0050438 2-ethylmalate synthase (2.3.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 70% α-Ketobutyric acid + class=skin-invert-image Acetyl-CoA H2O Q27098120 (R)-2-ethylmalic acid + Coenzyme A The three substrates of this enzyme characterised from Saccharomyces cerevisiae are α-ketobutyric acid, acetyl-CoA, and water. Its products are (R)-2-ethylmalic acid and coenzyme A.Strassman M, Ceci LN 1967 A study of acetyl-CoA condensation with alpha-keto acids Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 119 420–8 6052435 10.1016/0003-9861(67)90473-0 1 This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:2-oxobutanoate C-acetyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, carboxymethyl-forming). Other names in common use include (R)-2-ethylmalate 2-oxobutanoyl-lyase (CoA-acetylating), 2-ethylmalate-3-hydroxybutanedioate synthase, propylmalate synthase, and propylmalic synthase.2.3.3.6 References Biology no Category:EC 2.3.3 Category:Enzymes of unknown structure
