Homoserine O-succinyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli are homoserine and succinyl-CoA. Its products are O-succinyl-L-homoserine and coenzyme A.[1]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinyl-CoA:L-homoserine O-succinyltransferase. Other names in common use include homoserine O-transsuccinylase, and homoserine succinyltransferase. It participates in cysteine and methionine metabolism.[2]

Structural studies

As of late 2016, three structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2GHR, 2H2W, and 2VDJ.
