trans-Feruloyl—CoA synthase (EC 6.2.1.34) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- ferulic acid + CoASH + ATP trans-feruloyl—CoA + products of ATP breakdown
The three substrates of this enzyme are ferulic acid, CoASH, and ATP, whereas its two products are trans-feruloyl—CoA and products of ATP breakdown.
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 trans-ferulate:CoASH ligase (ATP-hydrolysing). This enzyme is also called trans-feruloyl—CoA synthetase.
