Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Oxalyl-CoA synthetase acting exclusively against oxalate (PubMed:22447686, PubMed:27326693). Follows a two-step reaction mechanism, wherein oxalate first undergoes adenylation by ATP, followed by a thioesterification in the presence of CoA to yield oxalyl-CoA (By similarity). No activity with malonate, succinate, malate, acetate, formate, lactate, glycolate, glyoxylate or glutarate (PubMed:22447686). Required for oxalate degradation, normal seed development and defense against oxalate-producing fungal pathogens (PubMed:22447686).
