  • Acetate--CoA ligase
  • Acyl-activating enzyme
Gene Name:acs
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in acetate-CoA ligase activity
Specific Function:Enables the cell to use acetate during aerobic growth to generate energy via the TCA cycle, and biosynthetic compounds via the glyoxylate shunt. Acetylates CheY, the response regulator involved in flagellar movement and chemotaxis
