Reaction: ATP + acetyl-CoA + HCO3- = ADP + phosphate + malonyl-CoA
Other name(s): acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase
Systematic name: acetyl-CoA:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming)
Comments: A biotinyl-protein. Also catalyses transcarboxylation; the plant enzyme also carboxylates propanonyl-CoA and butanoyl-CoA.
