Propionyl-CoA synthetase (PrpE). EC 6.2.1.17: propanoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming) or propionate#CoA ligase (PrpE) catalyzes the first step of the 2-methylcitric acid cycle for propionate catabolism. It activates propionate to propionyl-CoA in a two-step reaction, which proceeds through a propionyl-AMP intermediate and requires ATP and Mg2+. In Salmonella enterica, the PrpE protein is required for growth of Salmonella enterica on propionate and can substitute for the acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acs) enzyme during growth on acetate. PrpE can also activate acetate, 3HP, and butyrate to their corresponding CoA-thioesters, although with less efficiency.

acetyl-CoA synthetase; Provisional

Uncharacterized acyl-CoA synthetase subfamily similar to Acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase. This uncharacterized acyl-CoA synthetase family (EC 6.2.1.16, or acetoacetate#CoA ligase or acetoacetate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)) is highly homologous to acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase. However, the proteins in this family exist in only bacteria and archaea. AACS is a cytosolic ligase that specifically activates acetoacetate to its coenzyme A ester by a two-step reaction. Acetoacetate first reacts with ATP to form an acyl-adenylate intermediate, which then reacts with CoA to produce an acyl-CoA ester. This is the first step of the mevalonate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis via isopentenyl diphosphate. Isoprenoids are a large class of compounds found in all living organisms.

acetate--CoA ligase. This model describes acetate-CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.1), also called acetyl-CoA synthetase and acetyl-activating enzyme. It catalyzes the reaction ATP + acetate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + acetyl-CoA and belongs to the family of AMP-binding enzymes described by pfam00501.

Acetyl-CoA synthetase (also known as acetate-CoA ligase and acetyl-activating enzyme). Acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS, EC 6.2.1.1, acetate#CoA ligase or acetate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)) catalyzes the formation of acetyl-CoA from acetate, CoA, and ATP. Synthesis of acetyl-CoA is carried out in a two-step reaction. In the first step, the enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-AMP intermediate from acetate and ATP. In the second step, acetyl-AMP reacts with CoA to produce acetyl-CoA. This enzyme is widely present in all living organisms. The activity of this enzyme is crucial for maintaining the required levels of acetyl-CoA, a key intermediate in many important biosynthetic and catabolic processes. Acetyl-CoA is used in the biosynthesis of glucose, fatty acids, and cholesterol. It can also be used in the production of energy in the citric acid cycle. Eukaryotes typically have two isoforms of acetyl-CoA synthetase, a cytosolic form involved in biosynthetic processes and a mitochondrial form primarily involved in energy generation.
