Gene Description

SucD (PA1589) is the 288-residue alpha subunit of succinyl-CoA synthetase (succinate-CoA ligase, SCS) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, encoded in the sucCD operon downstream of the beta-subunit gene sucC. In the alpha2beta2 enzyme the alpha subunit binds CoA and phosphate and carries the catalytic histidine that is transiently phosphorylated during the reaction, while the beta subunit binds succinate and the nucleotide. SCS catalyses the substrate-level phosphorylation step of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, converting succinyl-CoA, phosphate and NDP into succinate, CoA and NTP. The P. aeruginosa enzyme makes ATP and GTP about equally from an equimolar ADP/GDP mixture and, at higher NDP concentrations, also UTP and CTP. SCS copurifies with nucleoside diphosphate kinase (Ndk), and the SCS-12-kDa Ndk complex makes little CTP.

TOO GENERAL
Summary: InterPro2GO catalytic activity.

Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10671455
In this reaction the Scs enzyme converted succinate, CoA, and [Ξ³- 32 P]ATP to succinyl-CoA, ADP, and P i .

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: PseudoCAP IDA NDP kinase activity; purified SCS transferred the gamma-phosphate of ATP to GDP (and of GTP to ADP).
Reason: Full text read. The transphosphorylation is real in vitro, probably through the alpha-subunit phosphohistidine, but its physiological relevance is unknown and P. aeruginosa has a dedicated nucleoside diphosphate kinase (ndk). Much of what the paper calls NDP kinase activity is the normal SCS reaction run with different NDP acceptors, which the ligase terms already cover. Same action as on the sibling sucC row from this paper.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10671455
As shown in Fig. 4 A and B, the Scs complex transferred the terminal phosphate from [Ξ³- 32 P]ATP to GDP to form GTP
GO:0004775 succinate-CoA ligase (ADP-forming) activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA ADP-forming SCS activity from PTN000122012, seeded by E. coli SucD, human SUCLG1, rat Suclg1, two tomato alpha subunits and P. aeruginosa SucD.
Reason: SCS alpha subunits are shared by the ADP- and GDP-forming enzymes, so both ligase terms suit the alpha-subunit clade; SucD's own seed is direct biochemistry and appears in WITH/FROM as expected.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10671455
In the presence of inorganic orthophosphate, succinyl-CoA, and an equimolar amount of ADP and GDP, Scs synthesizes essentially an equimolar amount of ATP and GTP.

ACCEPT
Summary: PseudoCAP IDA ADP-forming SCS activity; a seed of the PTN000122012 IBD. A mixture of purified SucC and SucD converted succinate, CoA and ATP to succinyl-CoA, ADP and Pi, and made ATP from succinyl-CoA, Pi and ADP.
Reason: Full text read. Direct assays with purified subunits in both directions. SucD is the CoA/phosphate-binding, phosphohistidine subunit of the heterotetramer, so it contributes to the activity together with SucC.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10671455

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PseudoCAP IDA NTP biosynthesis; SCS generates ATP, GTP, UTP and CTP from succinyl-CoA, Pi and the corresponding NDPs.
Reason: Full text read. The products are NTPs, so the term is true; NTP supply is a consequence of the TCA step rather than the gene's main process. Same action as on the sibling sucC row.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:10671455
In the presence of inorganic orthophosphate, succinyl-CoA, and an equimolar amount of ADP and GDP, Scs synthesizes essentially an equimolar amount of ATP and GTP.
GO:0009361 succinate-CoA ligase complex (ADP-forming)
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: IBA ADP-forming SCS complex from PTN000122012, seeded by E. coli SucD.
Reason: Bacterial SCS is the alpha2beta2 complex, and the P. aeruginosa enzyme forms ATP, so membership of the ADP-forming complex is true. Because the same enzyme is equally GDP-forming, the general GO:0042709 rows are kept as accurate rather than marked TOO_GENERAL.
Supporting Evidence:
