Acetyl-S-ACP:malonate ACP transferase
Ec Number:2.3.1.187

Acetyl-S-ACP:malonate ACP transferase (acetyl-S-ACP:malonate ACP-SH transferase, acetyl-S-acyl-carrier protein:malonate acyl-carrier-protein-transferase, MdcA, MadA, ACP transferase, malonate/acetyl-CoA transferase, malonate:ACP transferase, acetyl-S-acyl carrier protein:malonate acyl carrier protein-SH transferase) is an enzyme with systematic name acetyl-(acyl-carrier-protein):malonate S-(acyl-carrier-protein)transferase.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons

malonyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + acetate

This is the first step in the catalysis of malonate decarboxylation.
