Novel reaction of succinyl coenzyme A (Succinyl-CoA) synthetase: activation of 3-sulfinopropionate to 3-sulfinopropionyl-CoA in Advenella mimigardefordensis strain DPN7T during degradation of 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid.

Abstract excerpt
The sucCD gene of Advenella mimigardefordensis strain DPN7(T) encodes a succinyl coenzyme A (succinyl-CoA) synthetase homologue (EC 6.2.1.4 or EC 6.2.1.5) that recognizes, in addition to succinate, the structural analogues 3-sulfinopropionate (3SP) and itaconate as substrates. Accumulation of 3SP during 3,3'-dithiodipropionic acid (DTDP) degradation was observed in Tn5::mob-induced mutants of A....
