Type: | Domain | Name: | Malate synthase-like |
Description: | This entry represents the core TIM beta/alpha barrel found in malate synthase and in related proteins such as the beta subunit of citrate lyase.Malate synthase () catalyses the aldol condensation of glyoxylate with acetyl-CoA to form malate as part of the second step of the glyoxylate bypass and an alternative to the tricarboxylic acid cycle in bacteria, fungi and plants. Malate synthase has a TIM beta/alpha-barrel fold [].This entry is also represented by citrate lyase beta subunit (), a component of citrate lyase (), which catalyses the interconversion of citrate with acetate and oxaloacetate. | Short Name: | Malate_synth-like |
