Protein
(2S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Organism
Rhodobacter sphaeroides
Function
Involved in the ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway, a new acetyl-CoA assimilation strategy that operates in a number of bacteria and replaces the glyoxylate cycle. Catalyzes the oxidation of (2S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA to yield mesaconyl-(C1)-CoA. Highly specific for (S)-methylsuccinyl-CoA.
Similarity
Belongs to the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family.
