IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 2.3.3.1

Names

Accepted name:
citrate (Si)-synthase
Other names:
(R)-citrate synthase
citrate oxaloacetate-lyase [(pro-3S)-CH2COO→acetyl-CoA]
Systematic name:
acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase [thioester-hydrolysing, (pro-S)-carboxymethyl forming]

Reaction

Comments:

The stereospecificity of this enzyme is opposite to that of EC 2.3.3.3, citrate (Re)-synthase, which is found in some anaerobes. Citrate synthase for which the stereospecificity with respect to C2 of oxaloacetate has not been established are included in EC 2.3.3.16, citrate synthase.
