acetone:carbon-dioxide ligase (AMP-forming)
Requires Mg2+ and ATP. The reaction involves separate phosphorylation of hydrogencarbonate and acetone, forming carboxyphosphate and phosphoenolacetone, respectively, which are combined to form the final product. The enzyme from Xanthobacter sp. strain Py2 also carboxylates butan-2-one to 3-oxopentanoate.
