A new enzyme which catalyzes the reaction: Oxalate + adenosine 5[image] -triphosphate + coenzyme A [image] Oxalyl-coenzyme A+ adenosine 5[image]-phosphate + inorganic pyrophosphate has been partially purified from extracts of pea seeds. It was also demonstrated in seeds of lupine and pumpkin, and in wheat germ. The enzyme was assayed either by the rate of formation of oxalylhydroxa-mate, by the rate of esterification of coenzyme A, or by the rate of exchange of inorganic [p32]pyrophosphate with adenosine 5[image]-triphosphate. The stoichiometry of the reaction was determined by demonstrating: (a) the production of adenosine 5[image]-phosphate; (b) the stoichiometric formation of oxalylhydroxamate and inorganic pyrophosphate in the hydroxa-mate assay; (c) the exchange between inorganic [p32]pyrophosphate, but not of inorganic [p32]phosphate, and adenosine 5[image] -triphosphate. Increasing concentrations of coenzyme A caused a progressive inhibition of this exchange. The inorganic [p32]pyrophosphate exchange data are consistent with the reaction proceeding via an oxalyladenylate intermediate. The general properties of the enzyme are described, and the possible biochemical function of the enzyme and of oxalyl-coenzyme A is discussed.
