Function
Condenses acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate, the committed entry step of the cycle.
A taxon-neutral module for the oxidative tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, covering acetyl-CoA entry through citrate synthase, citrate/isocitrate interconversion, oxidative decarboxylation to succinyl-CoA, succinate-level phosphorylation, succinate oxidation through respiratory complex II, fumarate hydration, and malate oxidation to regenerate oxaloacetate. The module also records common bacterial alternatives at the aconitase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and malate/oxaloacetate steps.
Reusable boundary: this module describes the oxidative TCA cycle and its immediate bacterial alternatives, not every KEGG ppu00020 neighbor. Pyruvate dehydrogenase supplies acetyl-CoA upstream, pyruvate carboxylase supplies an external anaplerotic oxaloacetate input, and methylcitrate/propionyl-CoA CoA-transferase proteins should be treated as adjacent propionate-metabolism context unless direct evidence places them in the main cyclic flux. The PSEPK instantiation is satisfiable with gltA/Q88FA4, acnB/Q88KF1 plus acnA-I/Q88L24, icd/Q88FS2 plus idh/Q88FS1, sucA/Q88FA9-sucB/Q88FB0 with lpdG/Q88FB1 or related E3 components, sucD/Q88FB3-sucC/Q88FB2, sdhABCD/Q88FA7-Q88FA8-Q88FA5-Q88FA6, fumarase paralogs including the class-I enzyme PP_0897/Q88PF3 and the class-II enzymes fumC/Q88M20 and fumC-I/Q88PA6, and malate oxidation by mqo1/Q88PU7, mqo2/Q88NF9, mqo3/Q88IS4, and/or mdh/Q88Q44.

Condenses acetyl-CoA and oxaloacetate to form citrate, the committed entry step of the cycle.
Reversibly isomerizes citrate to isocitrate through cis-aconitate.
Oxidatively decarboxylates isocitrate to 2-oxoglutarate while reducing NADP+ in many bacteria.
Multienzyme oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate to succinyl-CoA by E1, E2, and E3 components.
Conserves thioester energy by substrate-level phosphorylation; some organisms or annotations also use the GDP-forming term GO:0004776 for the same heteromeric enzyme family.
Membrane-bound complex II links succinate oxidation in the TCA cycle to respiratory electron transfer through the quinone pool.
Regeneration of oxaloacetate from malate. Organisms may use an NAD-dependent malate dehydrogenase, one or more malate:quinone oxidoreductases, or both.
