Subunit structure of benzylsuccinate synthase.

Biochemistry - 17 Feb 2009

Abstract excerpt

Benzylsuccinate synthase is a member of the glycyl radical family of enzymes. It catalyzes the addition of toluene to fumarate to form benzylsuccinate as the first step in the anaerobic pathway of toluene fermentation. The enzyme comprises three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, that in Thauera aromatica strain T1 are encoded by the tutD, tutG, and tutF genes, respectively. The large alpha-subunit contains the...
