Malate dehydrogenase, mitochondrial.

Cytoplasmic aconitate hydratase; Iron sensor. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster and functions as aconitase when cellular iron levels are high. Functions as mRNA binding protein that regulates uptake, sequestration and utilization of iron when cellular iron levels are low. Binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES) in target mRNA species when iron levels are low. Binding of a 4Fe-4S cluster precludes RNA binding; Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.

ATP-citrate synthase; Catalyzes the cleavage of citrate into oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, the latter serving as common substrate for de novo cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the succinate/malate CoA ligase alpha subunit family.

Dihydrolipoamide S-acetyltransferase (E2 component of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex); The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex catalyzes the overall conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA and CO(2), and thereby links the glycolytic pathway to the tricarboxylic cycle.

Pyruvate carboxylase, mitochondrial; Pyruvate carboxylase catalyzes a 2-step reaction, involving the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the covalently attached biotin in the first step and the transfer of the carboxyl group to pyruvate in the second. Catalyzes in a tissue specific manner, the initial reactions of glucose (liver, kidney) and lipid (adipose tissue, liver, brain) synthesis from pyruvate.

Malate dehydrogenase, cytoplasmic.

Fumarate hydratase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the reversible stereospecific interconversion of fumarate to L-malate. Experiments in different species have demonstrated that specific isoforms of this protein act in defined pathways and favor one direction over the other (Probable). [Isoform Cytoplasmic]: Catalyzes the dehydration of L-malate to fumarate. Fumarate metabolism in the cytosol plays a role during urea cycle and arginine metabolism; fumarate being a by- product of the urea cycle and amino-acid catabolism. Also plays a role in DNA repair by promoting non-homologous end-joining [...]

Succinate dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] iron-sulfur subunit, mitochondrial; Iron-sulfur protein (IP) subunit of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) that is involved in complex II of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and is responsible for transferring electrons from succinate to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q).

Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase 2-like, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the synthesis of acetyl-CoA from short-chain fatty acids. Acetate is the preferred substrate. Can also utilize propionate with a much lower affinity. Provides acetyl-CoA that is utilized mainly for oxidation under ketogenic conditions. Involved in thermogenesis under ketogenic conditions, using acetate as a vital fuel when carbohydrate availability is insufficient.
