ID 1.2.1.75 DE malonyl CoA reductase (malonate semialdehyde-forming). AN malonyl CoA reductase (NADP). AN NADP-dependent malonyl CoA reductase. CA 3-oxopropanoate + CoA + NADP(+) = H(+) + malonyl-CoA + NADPH. CC -!- Catalyzes the reduction of malonyl-CoA to malonate semialdehyde, CC a key step in the 3-hydroxypropanoate and the CC 3-hydroxypropanoate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycles, autotrophic CO2 CC fixation pathways found in some green non-sulfur phototrophic CC bacteria and some thermoacidophilic archaea, respectively. CC -!- The enzyme from Sulfolobus tokodaii has been purified, and found to CC contain one RNA molecule per two subunits. CC -!- The enzyme from Chloroflexus aurantiacus is bifunctional, and also CC catalyzes the next reaction in the pathway, EC 1.1.1.298. DR A4YEN2, MCR_METS5 ; Q96YK1, MCR_SULTO ; //
