IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 6.2.1.44

Names

Accepted name:
3-(methylthio)propionyl—CoA ligase
Other names:
DmdB
MMPA-CoA ligase
methylmercaptopropionate-coenzyme A ligase
3-methylmercaptopropionyl-CoA ligase
Systematic name:
3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

The enzyme is part of a dimethylsulfoniopropanoate demethylation pathway in the marine bacteria Ruegeria pomeroyi and Pelagibacter ubique. It also occurs in some nonmarine bacteria capable of metabolizing dimethylsulfoniopropionate (e.g. Burkholderia thailandensis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis). It requires Mg2+ [2].
