This is the first step in the catalysis of malonate decarboxylation and involves the exchange of an acetyl thioester residue bound to the activated acyl-carrier protein (ACP) subunit of the malonate decarboxylase complex for a malonyl thioester residue [2]. This enzyme forms the alpha subunit of the multienzyme complexes biotin-independent malonate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.88) and biotin-dependent malonate decarboxylase (EC 7.2.4.4). The enzyme can also use acetyl-CoA as a substrate but more slowly [4].
to achieve decarboxylation of malonate, the key reaction in the decomposition of this compound, the substrate must be activated by the malonate decarboxylase to a malonyl thio-enzyme ester involving an activation module that comprises the acetylation of a specific thiol group of an acyl carrier protein, ACP, and the transfer of the ACP moiety to malonate, yielding malonyl-S-ACP and acetate. The malonyl-S-ACP is subsequently decarboxylated with regeneration of the acetyl-ACP. Malonate decarboxylation pathway, overview
