EC 1.3.8.3 Details
EC number
1.3.8.3
Accepted name
(R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Reaction
(R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = (E)-2-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein
Other name(s)
BbsG, (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Systematic name
(R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:electron transfer flavoprotein oxidoreductase
Comment
Requires FAD as prosthetic group. Unlike other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, this enzyme exhibits high substrate- and enantiomer specificity; it 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. Ferricenium ion is an effective artificial electron acceptor.
History
created 2003 as EC 1.3.99.21, transferred 2012 to EC 1.3.8.3
