Quinolinate synthase (EC 2.5.1.72, NadA, QS, quinolinate synthetase) is an enzyme with systematic name glycerone phosphate:iminosuccinate alkyltransferase (cyclizing).[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

glycerone phosphate + iminosuccinate pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylate + 2 H2O + phosphate

This iron-sulfur protein that requires a [4Fe-4S] cluster for activity.
