FunFam 117: AMP-dependent synthetase and ligase

There are 4 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Propionate--CoA ligase. [EC: 6.2.1.17]
ATP + propanoate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + propanoyl-CoA.
  • Propenoate can act instead of propanoate.
  • Not identical with EC 6.2.1.1 or EC 6.2.1.2.
4 A0A088E3M2 A0A088E3M2 A4YDR9 A4YDR9
Medium-chain acyl-CoA ligase. [EC: 6.2.1.2]
ATP + a medium-chain fatty acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + a medium- chain acyl-CoA.
  • Acts on fatty acids from C(4) to C(11) and on the corresponding 3-hydroxy and 2,3- or 3,4-unsaturated acids.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Pseudomonas putida also acts on 4-oxo and 4-hydroxy derivatives.
4 A0A088E3M2 A0A088E3M2 A4YDR9 A4YDR9
Acetate--CoA ligase. [EC: 6.2.1.1]
ATP + acetate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + acetyl-CoA.
  • Also acts on propanoate and propenoate.
4 A0A088E3M2 A0A088E3M2 A4YDR9 A4YDR9
4-hydroxybutyrate--CoA ligase (AMP-forming). [EC: 6.2.1.40]
ATP + 4-hydroxybutanoate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + 4-hydroxybutanoyl- CoA.
  • Isolated from the archaeon Metallosphaera sedula.
  • Involved in the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycle.
  • Cf. EC 6.2.1.56.
