Topic: Citrate synthase


  
  Citrate synthase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biochemistry the enzyme Citrate synthase (E.C. 2.3.3.1 [previously 4.1.3.7]) is a pace-maker enzyme in the Krebs cycle (aka the citric acid cycle).
Citrate synthase is commonly used as a quantitative enzyme marker for the content of intact mitochondria.
Citrate synthase catalyzes the reaction of acetyl coenzyme A (2 carbon atoms) with oxaloacetate (4 carbon atoms) to form citrate (6 carbons).

 Citrate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Citrates are compounds containing this group, either ionic compounds, the salts, or analogous covalent compounds, esters.
An example of a salt is sodium citrate and an ester is trimethyl citrate.
Salts of the hydrogen citrate ions are weakly acidic, while salts of the citrate ion itself (with an inert cation such as sodium ion) are weakly basic.

Citrate synthase is the first enzyme that controls the entry of carbon into the TCA cycle.
We have cloned the citrate synthase gene of S. fredii USDA257 and have shown that a functional citrate synthase gene is absolutely essential for efficient biological nitrogen fixation.
The deduced citrate synthase protein has a molecular weight of 48,198 Da and shows sequence similarity to citrate synthase from several bacterial species, including S. meliloti and Rhizobium tropici.

 J. Chem. Soc., Chem. Commun., 1994, 2029.
It is an interesting quirk that citrate synthase mediates the formation of (2R,3R)-fluorocitrate, the only toxic stereoisomer of the four possible forms[6].
This is consistent with a much earlier deduction for citrate synthase, that the rate limiting event is the generation of an enolate intermediate[16].
[-] for citrate synthase, R=H for malate synthase), the prochiral hydrogen discrimination by the enzyme must be related to the relative energies of the syn or anti orientations of the C-F bond with respect to the oxygen atom of the forming neutral enol or enolate anion intermediate, assuming specific binding for the SCoA moiety.
