CO-methylating acetyl-CoA synthase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a CO-methylating acetyl-CoA synthase (EC 2.3.1.169) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

acetyl-CoA + corrinoid protein \rightleftharpoons CO + methylcorrinoid protein + CoA

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and corrinoid protein, whereas its 3 products are CO, methylcorrinoid protein, and CoA.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:corrinoid protein O-acetyltransferase.
