Acetoacetyl CoA is the precursor of HMG-CoA in the mevalonate pathway. Acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase catalyzes the reaction to form acetoacetyl-CoA from two acetyl-CoA molecules. Acetoacetyl CoA is essential for cholesterol biosynthesis. Acetoacetyl-CoA is also a intermediate in the biological breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids[1][2][3].

| In Vitro | The purified recombinant Msed_0389 and Msed_1423 catalyze the NAD-dependent oxidation of (S)-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA to Acetoacetyl-CoA and are highly specific for their substrate (Km of 2.6 μM and 5 μM, respectively)[2]. The homologous bifunctional protein is the only enzyme capable to covert crotonyl-CoA into Acetoacetyl-CoA in autotrophic Desulfurococcales (Ignicoccus hospitalis) and Thermoproteales (Pyrobaculum neutrophilus) that use the dicarboxylate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle for CO2 fixation[2]. |
