EC 6.4.1.2

Accepted name: acetyl-CoA carboxylase

Reaction: ATP + acetyl-CoA + hydrogencarbonate = ADP + phosphate + malonyl-CoA

For diagram of reaction click here or click here.

Other name(s): HFA1 (gene name); ACC1 (gene name); acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase; acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)

Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:hydrogencarbonate ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments: This enzyme is a multi-domain polypeptide that catalyses three different activities - a biotin carboxyl-carrier protein (BCCP), a biotin carboxylase that catalyses the transfer of a carboxyl group from hydrogencarbonate to the biotin molecule carried by the carrier protein, and the transfer of the carboxyl group from biotin to acetyl-CoA, forming malonyl-CoA. In some organisms these activities are catalysed by separate enzymes (see EC 6.3.4.14, biotin carboxylase, and EC 2.1.3.15, acetyl-CoA carboxytransferase). The carboxylation of the carrier protein requires ATP, while the transfer of the carboxyl group to acetyl-CoA does not.

Reaction: ATP + 2-oxoglutarate + HCO3- = ADP + phosphate + oxalosuccinate

For diagram click here.

Glossary: oxalosuccinate = 1-oxopropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate

Other name(s): oxalosuccinate synthetase; carboxylating factor for ICDH (incorrect); CFI; OGC

Comments: A biotin-containing enzyme that requires Mg2+ for activity.

The product of the reaction is unstable and is quickly converted into isocitrate by the action of EC 1.1.1.41 [2].

EC 6.5.1.1

Accepted name: DNA ligase (ATP)

Reaction: ATP + (deoxyribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-phospho-(deoxyribonucleotide)m = (deoxyribonucleotide)n+m + AMP + diphosphate (overall reaction)
(1a) ATP + [DNA ligase]-L-lysine = [DNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + diphosphate
(1b) [DNA ligase]-N6-(5'-adenylyl)-L-lysine + 5'-phospho-(deoxyribonucleotide)m = 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-(deoxyribonucleotide)m + [DNA ligase]-L-lysine
(1c) (deoxyribonucleotide)n-3'-hydroxyl + 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-(deoxyribonucleotide)m = (deoxyribonucleotide)n+m + AMP

Other name(s): polydeoxyribonucleotide synthase (ATP); polynucleotide ligase (ambiguous); sealase; DNA repair enzyme (ambiguous); DNA joinase (ambiguous); DNA ligase (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic ligase (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleate ligase (ambiguous); DNA-joining enzyme (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic-joining enzyme (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic acid-joining enzyme (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic repair enzyme (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic joinase (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic acid ligase (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic acid joinase (ambiguous); deoxyribonucleic acid repair enzyme (ambiguous); poly(deoxyribonucleotide):poly(deoxyribonucleotide) ligase (AMP-forming)

Systematic name: poly(deoxyribonucleotide)-3'-hydroxyl:5'-phospho-poly(deoxyribonucleotide) ligase (ATP)

Comments: The enzyme catalyses the ligation of DNA strands with 3'-hydroxyl and 5'-phosphate termini, forming a phosphodiester and sealing certain types of single-strand breaks in duplex DNA. Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a lysine residue. The adenylate group is then transferred to the 5'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure 5'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine)-[DNA]. Finally, the enzyme catalyses a nucleophilic attack of the 3'-OH terminus on the capped terminus, which results in formation of the phosphodiester bond and release of the adenylate. RNA can also act as substrate, to some extent. cf. EC 6.5.1.2, DNA ligase (NAD+), EC 6.5.1.6, DNA ligase (ATP or NAD+), and EC 6.5.1.7, DNA ligase (ATP, ADP or GTP).

Comments: The enzyme converts the 3'-terminal phosphate of various RNA substrates into the 2',3'-cyclic phosphodiester in an ATP-dependent reaction. Catalysis occurs by a three-step mechanism, starting with the activation of the enzyme by ATP, forming a phosphoramide bond between adenylate and a histidine residue [5,6]. The adenylate group is then transferred to the 3'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure [RNA]-3'-(5'-diphosphoadenosine). Finally, the enzyme catalyses an attack of the vicinal O2' on the 3'-phosphorus, which results in formation of cyclic phosphate and release of the adenylate. The enzyme also has a polynucleotide 5' adenylylation activity [7]. cf. EC 6.5.1.5, RNA 3'-terminal-phosphate cyclase (GTP).

(2d) (ribonucleotide)n-3'-(5'-diphosphoguanosine) + 5'-hydroxy-(ribonucleotide)m = (ribonucleotide)n+m + GMP

Other name(s): rtcB (gene name)

Systematic name: poly(ribonucleotide)-3'-phosphate:5'-hydroxy-poly(ribonucleotide) ligase (GMP-forming)

Comments: The enzyme is a GTP- and Mn2+-dependent 3'-5' nucleic acid ligase with the ability to join RNA with 3'-phosphate or 2',3'-cyclic-phosphate ends to RNA with 5'-hydroxy ends. It can also join DNA with 3'-phosphate ends to DNA with 5'-hydroxy ends, provided the DNA termini are unpaired [6]. The enzyme is found in members of all three kingdoms of life, and is essential in metazoa for the splicing of intron-containing tRNAs. The reaction follows a three-step mechanism with initial activation of the enzyme by GTP hydrolysis, forming a phosphoramide bond between the guanylate and a histidine residue. The guanylate group is transferred to the 3'-phosphate terminus of the substrate, forming the capped structure [DNA/RNA]-3'-(5'-diphosphoguanosine). When a suitable 5'-OH end is available, the enzyme catalyses an attack of the 5'-OH on the capped end to form a 3'-5' phosphodiester splice junction, releasing the guanylate. When acting on an RNA 2',3'-cyclic-phosphate, the enzyme cayalyses an additional reaction, hydrolysing the cyclic phosphate to a 3'-phosphate [9]. The metazoan enzyme requires activating cofactors in order to achieve multiple turnover catalysis [8].

Other name(s): hydrogenobyrinic acid a,c-diamide cobaltochelatase; CobNST; CobN–CobST

Systematic name: hydrogenobyrinic-acid-a,c-diamide:cobalt cobalt-ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments: This enzyme, which forms part of the aerobic (late cobalt insertion) cobalamin biosynthesis pathway, is a type I chelatase, being heterotrimeric and ATP-dependent. It comprises two components, one of which corresponds to CobN and the other is composed of two polypeptides, specified by cobS and cobT in Pseudomonas denitrificans, and named CobST [1]. Hydrogenobyrinate is a very poor substrate. ATP can be replaced by dATP or CTP but the reaction proceeds more slowly. CobN exhibits a high affinity for hydrogenobyrinate a,c-diamide. The oligomeric protein CobST possesses at least one sulfhydryl group that is essential for ATP-binding. See EC 4.99.1.3, sirohydrochlorin cobaltochelatase, for the cobaltochelatase that participates in the anaerobic cobalamin biosynthesis pathway.
