EC 1.2.1.27

Accepted name: methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (CoA-acylating)

Reaction: 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate + CoA + H2O + NAD+ = propanoyl-CoA + HCO3- + NADH

Glossary: methylmalonate semialdehyde = 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate

Other name(s): MSDH; MMSA dehydrogenase; iolA (gene name); methylmalonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (acylating)

Systematic name: 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase (CoA-propanoylating)

Comments: Also converts 3-oxopropanoate into acetyl-CoA [3]. The reaction occurs in two steps with the decarboxylation process preceding CoA-binding [3]. Bicarbonate rather than CO2 is released as a final product [3].
