acyl-CoA:acyl-CoA alkyltransferase
Reaction
2 an acyl-CoA + H2O = a (2R)-2-alkyl-3-oxoalkanoate + 2 CoA
Other name(s)
oleA (gene name)
Systematic name
acyl-CoA:acyl-CoA alkyltransferase [(2R)-2-alkyl-3-oxoalkanoate-forming]
Comment
The enzyme, found in certain bacterial species, catalyses a head-to-head non-decarboxylative Claisen condensation of two acyl-CoA molecules, resulting in formation of a 2-alkyl-3-oxoalkanoic acid. It is part of a pathway for the production of olefins.
