EC 6.2.1.36 Details
EC number
6.2.1.36
Accepted name
3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthase
Reaction
3-hydroxypropanoate + ATP + CoA = 3-hydroxypropanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate
Other name(s)
3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA synthetase (AMP-forming), 3-hydroxypropionate—CoA ligase
Systematic name
hydroxypropanoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
Comment
Catalyses a step in the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycle, an autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway found in some thermoacidophilic archaea [1,2].The enzymes from Metallosphaera sedula and Sulfolobus tokodaii can also use propionate, acrylate, acetate, and butanoate as substrates [2], and are thus different from EC 6.2.1.17 (propionate—CoA ligase), which does not accept acetate or butanoate.
