Sysname
malonate semialdehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase (malonate semialdehyde-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
malonate semialdehyde + CoA + NADP+ = malonyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ [RN:
R00740 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
Requires Mg2+. Catalyses the reduction of malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde, a key step in the 3-hydroxypropanoate and the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycles, autotrophic CO2 fixation pathways found in some green non-sulfur phototrophic bacteria and some thermoacidophilic archaea, respectively [1,2]. The enzyme from Sulfolobus tokodaii has been purified, and found to contain one RNA molecule per two subunits [3]. The enzyme from Chloroflexus aurantiacus is bifunctional, and also catalyses the next reaction in the pathway, EC
1.1.1.298 [3-hydroxypropionate dehydrogenase (NADP+)] [4].
