Reaction: succinyl-CoA + cyclohexane-1-carboxylate = succinate + cyclohexane-1-carbonyl-CoA
Other name(s): Gmet_3304 (locus name)
Systematic name: succinyl-CoA—cyclohexane-1-carboxylate CoA-transferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Geobacter metallireducens, participates in an anaerobic degradation pathway for cyclohexane-1-carboxylate. In vitro, the enzyme can use butanoyl-coA as a CoA donor with greater efficiency than succinyl-CoA.
