EC 1.3.8.3     
Accepted name: (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA dehydrogenase
Reaction: (R)-2-benzylsuccinyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = (E)-2-benzylidenesuccinyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

Other name(s): BbsG; (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase
Systematic name: (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA:electron transfer flavoprotein oxidoreductase
Comments: Contains a tightly-bound FAD cofactor. Unlike other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases, this enzyme exhibits high substrate- and enantiomer specificity; it is highly specific for (R)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA and is inhibited by (S)-benzylsuccinyl-CoA. Forms the third step in the anaerobic toluene metabolic pathway in Thauera aromatica. Ferricenium ion is an effective artificial electron acceptor.
