Take a detour: An alternative pathway to synthesize isovaleryl coenzyme A (CoA) has recently been suggested in myxobacteria, which is highly active when leucine is limited. Each enzymatic step of this unprecedented route has now been characterized and a novel 3‐methylglutaconyl CoA decarboxylase identified that has apparently evolved from CoA transferases.
绕道而行:最近在粘细菌中提出了一种合成异戊酰基辅酶A(CoA)的替代途径,该途径在亮氨酸受限时非常活跃。现在已经对这种前所未有的途径的每个酶促步骤进行了表征,并鉴定了一种显然是从CoA转移酶进化而来的新型3-甲基谷氨酰辅酶A脱羧酶。
