Term Name: | acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase complex |
---|---|
Synonyms: | carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, carbon-monoxide:(acceptor) oxidoreductase complex, CO dehydrogenase complex, CO dehydrogenase/acetyl-CoA synthase complex, CODH/ACS complex |
Definition: | A multifunctional enzyme complex composed of five different polypeptides that catalyzes the decarbonylation of acetyl-CoA, cleaves the C-C and C-S bonds in the acetyl moiety of acetyl-CoA, oxidizes the carbonyl group to CO2 and transfers the methyl group to tetrahydrosarcinapterin. These reactions are important for methanogenesis. |
