Requires Mg2+. Catalyses the reduction of malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde, a key step in the 3-hydroxypropanoate and the 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycles, autotrophic CO2 fixation pathways found in some green non-sulfur phototrophic bacteria and some thermoacidophilic archaea, respectively [1,2]. The enzyme from Sulfolobus tokodaii has been purified, and found to contain one RNA molecule per two subunits . The enzyme from Chloroflexus aurantiacus is bifunctional, and also catalyses the next reaction in the pathway, EC 1.1.1.298 [3-hydroxypropionate dehydrogenase (NADP+)] .

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea

Synonyms
bi-functional malonyl-CoA reductase, malonate semialdehyde reductase, malonate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, malonyl CoA reductase (malonate semialdehyde-forming), malonyl-CoA reductase, MCR, More, MSAR, more
