EC 4.1.1.87 Details
EC number
4.1.1.87
Accepted name
malonyl-S-ACP decarboxylase
Reaction
a malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + H+ = an acetyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + CO2
Other name(s)
malonyl-S-acyl-carrier protein decarboxylase, MdcD/MdcE, MdcD,E
Systematic name
malonyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] carboxy-lyase
Comment
This enzyme comprises the β and γ subunits of EC 4.1.1.88, biotin-independent malonate decarboxylase but is not present in EC 7.2.4.4, biotin-dependent malonate decarboxylase. It follows on from EC 2.3.1.187, acetyl-S-ACP:malonate ACP transferase, and results in the regeneration of the acetylated form of the acyl-carrier-protein subunit of malonate decarboxylase [5]. The carboxy group is lost with retention of configuration [3].
