DESCRIPTION

Also known as MCLA_CHLAU, mcl. Involved in the 3-hydroxypropionate cycle used for autotrophic carbon dioxide fixation, and in the glyoxylate assimilation cycle used to regenerate acetyl-CoA and produce pyruvate as universal precursor for biosynthesis. As a part of the 3-hydroxypropionate cycle, it catalyzes the cleavage of (S)-malyl-CoA to yield acetyl-CoA and glyoxylate. As part of the glyoxylate assimilation cycle, it catalyzes the condensation of glyoxylate with propionyl-CoA to yield (2R, 3S)-beta-methylmalyl-CoA, and catalyzes the cleavage of (S)-citramalyl-CoA to yield acetyl-CoA and pyruvate. Homohexamer. Dimer of trimers.
