Comments [?]

Function Catalyzes the transfer of CoA to carnitine, generating the initial carnitinyl-CoA needed for the CaiB reaction cycle. Also has activity toward crotonobetaine and gamma-butyrobetaine.
Catalytic activity RHEA:28514: (R)-carnitine + ATP + CoA = (R)-carnitinyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate
EC 6.2.1.48
RHEA:30079: ATP + CoA + crotonobetaine = AMP + crotonobetainyl-CoA + diphosphate
RHEA:55960: 4-(trimethylamino)butanoate + ATP + CoA = 4-(trimethylamino)butanoyl-CoA + AMP + diphosphate
Pathway Amine and polyamine metabolism; carnitine metabolism.
Similarity Belongs to the ATP-dependent AMP-binding enzyme family.
