MCAN_24941
Component of KG oxidoreductase (KOR) that catalyzes the CoA-dependent oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate (alpha-ketoglutarate, KG) to succinyl-CoA. Methyl viologen can act as electron acceptor in vitro; the physiologic electron acceptor is unknown. Is involved in the alternative TCA pathway that functions concurrently with fatty acid beta-oxidation. Since a growing body of evidence indicates that lipids (for example cholesterol and fatty acids) are a predominant growth substrate for M.tuberculosis during infection, flux through KOR likely represents an important step in intermediary metabolism in vivo. KOR-dependent decarboxylation of KG also appears to be an important source of CO(2) in M.tuberculosis metabolism.
