Function
[XECC_XANP2] Catalyzes the reductive cleavage of the thioether linkage of 2-ketopropyl-coenzyme M, and the subsequent carboxylation of the ketopropyl cleavage product, yielding the products acetoacetate and free coenzyme M.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The structure of 2-ketopropyl coenzyme M oxidoreductase/carboxylase (2-KPCC) has been determined in a state in which CO(2) is observed providing insights into the mechanism of carboxylation. In the substrate encapsulated state of the enzyme, CO(2) is bound at the base of a narrow hydrophobic substrate access channel. The base of the channel is demarcated by a transition from a hydrophobic to hydrophilic environment where CO(2) is located in position for attack on the carbanion of the ketopropyl group of the substrate to ultimately produce acetoacetate. This binding mode effectively discriminates against H(2)O and prevents protonation of the ketopropyl leaving group. STRUCTURED SUMMARY: 2-KPCCbinds to 2-KPCC by x-ray crystallography (View interaction).
