Other name(s): Nmar_0206 (locus name)

Systematic name: 4-hydroxybutanoate:CoA ligase (ADP-forming)

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the marine ammonia-oxidizing archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus, participates in a variant of the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanate CO2 fixation cycle. cf. EC 6.2.1.40, 4-hydroxybutyrate—CoA ligase (AMP-forming).
