Acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS), also known as acetyl-CoA decarbonylase, is found in acetogenic and methanogenic organisms and is responsible for the synthesis and breakdown of acetyl-CoA. ACS forms a heterotetramer with carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) consisting of two ACS and two CODH subunits. CODH reduces carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and ACS then synthesizes acetyl-CoA from carbon monoxide, CoA, and a methyl group donated by another protein (CoFeSP). ACS has three structural domains, an N-terminal rossman fold domain with a helical region at its N-terminus which interacts with CODH, and two alpha + beta fold domains. A Ni-Fe-S center referred to as the A-cluster is located in the C-terminal domain. A large cavity exists between the three domains which may bind CoA.
