citrate (Re)-synthase activity

Term ID

GO:0050450

Synonyms

• (R)-citrate synthase activity
• acetyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-acetyltransferase [thioester-hydrolysing, (pro-R)-carboxymethyl-forming]
• citrate oxaloacetate-lyase ((pro-3R)-CH(2)COO(-)->acetyl-CoA) activity
• citrate oxaloacetate-lyase [(pro-3R)-CH2COO-rightacetyl-CoA]
• Re-citrate-synthase activity

Definition

Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + H2O + oxaloacetate = citrate + CoA, where the acetyl group is added to the re-face of oxaloacetate; acetyl-CoA provides the two carbon atoms of the pro-R carboxymethyl group. 17400742
