EC 1.3.99.21 Details
EC number
1.3.99.21
Accepted name
(R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Reaction
(R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA + 2 electron-transferring flavoprotein = (E)-2-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + 2 reduced electron-transferring flavoprotein
Other name(s)
BbsG, (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Systematic name
(R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase
Comment
Requires FAD as cofactor. The enzyme is highly specific for (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA and is inhibited by (S)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA. Forms the third step in the anaerobic toluene metabolic pathway in Thauera aromatica. Uses the ferricenium ion as the preferred artificial electron acceptor. Unlike other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, this enzyme exhibits high substrate- and enantiomer specificity.
