Reaction: (1) ATP + a marinolic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + a marinoloyl-CoA
(2) ATP + a pseudomonic acid + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + a pseudomonoyl-CoA
Glossary: thiomarinols = natural products that combine monic acid and the compact holothin core of the dithiolopyrrolones.
Other name(s): tmlU (gene name)
Systematic name: marinolic acid:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SANK 73390, catalyses the CoA acylation of pseudomonic and marinolic acids, as part of the biosynthesis of thiomarinols and related compounds.
