In enzymology, a malonate—CoA ligase (EC 6.2.1.76) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:

ATP + malonate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + malonyl-CoA

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, malonate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and malonyl-CoA.

This enzyme belongs to the class of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases or, more precisely, to the family of acyl-CoA synthetases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is malonate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme is also called malonyl-CoA synthetase. This enzyme participates in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis metabolism.

Examples

Examples of enzymes with malonyl-CoA synthetase activity are:

Acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3 (ACSF3)

The only known malonyl-CoA synthetase in mammals is the mitochondrial enzyme acyl-CoA synthetase family member 3 (ACSF3), which has a high specificity for malonate and methylmalonate.[1] ACSF3 is required for the detoxification of intramitochondrial malonate, as malonate is a potent inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration through the competitive inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase, which is a component of citric acid cycle and is complex II of the respiratory chain.[2][3] The resulting malonyl-CoA (besides being generated by a mitochondrial isoform of acetyl-CoA carboxylase) is considered one of the sources of mitochondrial malonyl-CoA, which is required as a precursor for mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis.[4] Furthermore, ACSF3 is required for the malonylation of mitochondrial proteins.[2]

Acyl activating enzyme 13 (AAE13)

Also in plants, more precisely in Arabidopsis thaliana, there is a malonyl-CoA synthetase, the acyl activation enzyme 13 (AAE13).[5] Malonyl-CoA is required as a substrate in acylation and condensation reactions.[6] AAE13 is localized both in the cytosol and in the mitochondria, whereby the cytosolic isoform is not essential, as cytosolic malonyl-CoA is sufficiently provided by cytosolic acetyl-CoA carboxylase.[6] In contrast, the mitochondrial isoform is essential for plant growth.[6]

Clinical relevance

In the inborn error of metabolism combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA), the malonyl-CoA synthetase, ACSF3, is impaired, which leads to an accumulation of the metabolites malonate and methylmalonate.[7]
