acdAII

Gene
acdAII
Protein
Acetate--CoA ligase [ADP-forming] II subunit alpha
Organism
Pyrococcus furiosus (strain ATCC 43587 / DSM 3638 / JCM 8422 / Vc1)
Length
457 amino acids
Function
Catalyzes the reversible formation of acetate and ATP from acetyl-CoA by using ADP and phosphate. Can use other substrates such as phenylacetyl-CoA, indoleacetyl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA, but not succinyl-CoA. Seems to be involved primarily in the degradation of aryl-CoA esters to the corresponding acids. Participates in the conversion of acetyl-CoA to acetate and in the degradation of branched-chain amino acids via branched-chain-acyl-CoA esters.
Similarity
Belongs to the acetate CoA ligase alpha subunit family.
