2-methylcitrate synthase (EC 2.3.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The three substrates of this enzyme are oxaloacetic acid, propionyl-CoA, and water. Its two products are a specific stereoisomer of 2-methylcitric acid, with coenzyme A as the byproduct. The enyme has been characterised from Candida lipolytica,[1] Escherichia coli,[2] and Salmonella typhimurium.[3] The isomer produced was shown to be (2R,3S)-2-methylcitric acid.[4] The methyl citrate product in fungi is later converted to methylisocitric acid and then to pyruvic acid and succinic acid by the enzyme methylisocitrate lyase.[5][6]
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases that convert acyl groups into alkyl groups on transfer. The systematic name of this enzyme class is propanoyl-CoA:oxaloacetate C-propanoyltransferase (thioester-hydrolysing, 1-carboxyethyl-forming). Other names in common use include 2-methylcitrate oxaloacetate-lyase, MCS, methylcitrate synthase, and methylcitrate synthetase.[7]
