| Official Name |
| Pyruvate synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Pyruvate oxidoreductase. |
| Pyruvate synthetase. |
| Pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase. |
| Pyruvic-ferredoxin oxidoreductase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| Pyruvate + CoA + 2 oxidized ferredoxin <=> acetyl-CoA + CO(2) + 2 reduced ferredoxin + 2 H(+) |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Iron-sulfur; Thiamine(1+) diphosphate(1-).
|
| Comment(s) |
| One of four 2-oxoacid oxidoreductases that are differentiated by
their abilities to oxidatively decarboxylatedifferent 2-oxoacids and
form their CoA derivatives (see also EC 1.2.7.3, EC 1.2.7.7 and
EC 1.2.7.8).
