Reaction: (3S)-citramalyl-CoA = acetyl-CoA + pyruvate
Other name(s): citramalyl coenzyme A lyase; (+)-CMA-CoA lyase; (3S)-citramalyl-CoA pyruvate-lyase
Systematic name: (3S)-citramalyl-CoA pyruvate-lyase (acetyl-CoA-forming)
Comments: The enzyme is a component of EC 4.1.3.22 citramalate lyase. Also acts on (3S)-citramalyl thioacyl-carrier protein.
