In enzymology, a glycine C-acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.29) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
- acetyl-CoA + glycine CoA + 2-amino-3-oxobutanoate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetyl-CoA and glycine, whereas its two products are CoA and 2-amino-3-oxobutanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acetyl-CoA:glycine C-acetyltransferase. Other names in common use include 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate CoA ligase, 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase, 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate-CoA ligase, glycine acetyltransferase, and aminoacetone synthase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1FC4.
