EC 3.1.2.29

Accepted name: fluoroacetyl-CoA thioesterase

Reaction: fluoroacetyl-CoA + H2O = fluoroacetate + CoA

Systematic name: fluoroacetyl-CoA hydrolase

Comments: Fluoroacetate is extremely toxic. It reacts with CoA to form fluoroacetyl-CoA, which substitutes for acetyl CoA and reacts with EC 2.3.3.1 (citrate synthase) to produce fluorocitrate, a metabolite of which binds very tightly to EC 4.2.1.3 (aconitase) and halts the TCA cycle. This enzyme hydrolyses fluoroacetyl-CoA before it can react with citrate synthase, and thus confers fluoroacetate resistance on the organisms that produce it. It has been described in the poisonous plant Dichapetalum cymosum and the bacterium Streptomyces cattleya, both of which are fluoroacetate producers.

EC 3.1.2.30

Accepted name: (3S)-malyl-CoA thioesterase

Reaction: (S)-malyl-CoA + H2O = (S)-malate + CoA

Glossary: (S)-malate = (2S)-2-hydroxybutanedioate
(S)-malyl-CoA = (3S)-3-carboxy-3-hydroxypropanoyl-CoA

Other name(s): mcl2 (gene name)

Systematic name: (S)-malyl-CoA hydrolase

Comments: Stimulated by Mg2+ or Mn2+. The enzyme has no activity with (2R,3S)-2-methylmalyl-CoA (cf. EC 4.1.3.24, malyl-CoA lyase) or other CoA esters.

EC 3.1.2.31

Accepted name: dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] thioesterase

Reaction: dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] + H2O = holo-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] + dihydromonacolin L acid

For diagram of reaction click here.

Glossary: dihydromonacolin L acid = (3R,5R)-7-[(1S,2S,4aR,6R,8aS)-2,6-dimethyl-1,2,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydronaphthalen-1-yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoate

Other name(s): LovG

Systematic name: dihydromonacolin L-[lovastatin nonaketide synthase] hydrolase

Comments: Dihydromonacolin L acid is synthesized while bound to an acyl-carrier protein domain of the lovastatin nonaketide synthase (EC 2.3.1.161). Since that enzyme lacks a thioesterase domain, release of the dihydromonacolin L acid moiety from the polyketide synthase requires this dedicated enzyme.
