Reaction: 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoyl-CoA + acceptor = 3-(methylsulfanyl)acryloyl-CoA + reduced acceptor
Other name(s): dmdC (gene name)
Systematic name: 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoyl-CoA:acceptor 2-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, found in marine bacteria, participates in a 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate degradation pathway. Based on similar enzymes, the in vivo electron acceptor is likely electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF).
