Putative protein in propionate catabolism; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the 2-methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the dehydration of 2-methylcitrate (2-MC) to yield the cis isomer of 2-methyl-aconitate. It is also able to catalyze the dehydration of citrate at a lower rate, and the hydration of cis- aconitate. It has no aconitase-like activity and is unable to catalyze the hydration of 2-methyl-cis-aconitate.

Aconitate hydratase 1; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)(acetyl degradation route) and the 2- methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the reversible isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate. Also catalyzes the hydration of 2-methyl-cis-aconitate to yield (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate. The (2S,3S)-2-methylcitrate (2-MC) is a very poor substrate. The apo form of AcnA functions as a RNA-binding regulatory protein (By similarity). Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.

Putative acetyl-CoA synthetase, propionate catabolism operon; Catalyzes the synthesis of propionyl-CoA from propionate and CoA. Also converts acetate to acetyl-CoA but with a lower specific activity.

Aconitate hydratase 2; Involved in the catabolism of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) via the tricarboxylic acid (TCA)(acetyl degradation route) and the 2- methylcitrate cycle I (propionate degradation route). Catalyzes the reversible isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate. Also catalyzes the hydration of 2-methyl-cis-aconitate to yield (2R,3S)-2-methylisocitrate. The apo form of AcnB functions as a RNA- binding regulatory protein which regulates FliC synthesis via interaction with the ftsH transcript to decrease the intracellular levels of FtsH. The lower levels of Fts [...]

Similar to E. coli malate synthase A (AAC76984.1); Blastp hit to AAC76984.1 (533 aa), 90% identity in aa 1 - 533.

Isocitrate lyase; Involved in the metabolic adaptation in response to environmental changes. Catalyzes the reversible formation of succinate and glyoxylate from isocitrate, a key step of the glyoxylate cycle, which operates as an anaplerotic route for replenishing the tricarboxylic acid cycle during growth on fatty acid substrates.

succinyl-CoA synthetase, alpha subunit; Succinyl-CoA synthetase functions in the citric acid cycle (TCA), coupling the hydrolysis of succinyl-CoA to the synthesis of either ATP or GTP and thus represents the only step of substrate-level phosphorylation in the TCA. The alpha subunit of the enzyme binds the substrates coenzyme A and phosphate, while succinate binding and nucleotide specificity is provided by the beta subunit.

The beta subunit provides nucleotide specificity of the enzyme and binds the substrate succinate, while the binding sites for coenzyme A and phosphate are found in the alpha subunit.
