Reaction: 3,5-dioxohexanoate + acetyl-CoA = acetoacetate + acetoacetyl-CoA
Other name(s): 3,5-dioxohexanoate cleavage enzyme
Systematic name: 3,5-dioxohexanoate:acetyl-CoA acetone transferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from fungus Blumeria graminis, belongs to a class of enzymes known as β-keto acid cleavage enzymes (BKACE). cf. EC 2.3.1.247, (5S)-5-amino-3-oxohexanoate:acetyl-CoA ethylamine transferase, EC 2.3.1.317, 3-dehydrocarnitine:acetyl-CoA trimethylamine transferase, and EC 2.3.1.318, 3-oxoadipate:acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase.
