- ATP + o-succinylbenzoate + CoA AMP + diphosphate + o-succinylbenzoyl-CoA
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP, o-succinylbenzoate, and CoA, whereas its 3 products are AMP, diphosphate, and o-succinylbenzoyl-CoA.
This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases, specifically those forming carbon-sulfur bonds as acid-thiol ligases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-succinylbenzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). Other names in common use include 2-succinylbenzoyl-coenzyme A synthetase, and 2-succinylbenzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming). This enzyme participates in ubiquinone biosynthesis.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2OKT and 2OLA.
