ID   6.2.1.44
DE   3-(methylthio)propionyl--CoA ligase.
AN   3-methylmercaptopropionyl-CoA ligase.
AN   methylmercaptopropionate-coenzyme A ligase.
AN   MMPA-CoA ligase.
CA   3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoate + ATP + CoA = 3-(methylsulfanyl)propanoyl-
CA   CoA + AMP + diphosphate.
CC   -!- The enzyme is part of a dimethylsulfoniopropanoate demethylation
CC       pathway in the marine bacteria Ruegeria pomeroyi and Pelagibacter
CC       ubique.
CC   -!- It also occurs in some nonmarine bacteria capable of metabolizing
CC       dimethylsulfoniopropionate (e.g. Burkholderia thailandensis,
CC       Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Silicibacter lacuscaerulensis).
