OBSOLETE. A heterodimer which acts as a quinolinate synthetase; quinolinate synthetase B (L-aspartate oxidase) catalyzes the oxidation of L-aspartate to L-iminoaspartate; quinolinate synthetase A condenses L-imidoaspartate and dihydroxyacetone to quinolinate.

Comment
This term was made obsolete because there is no evidence that a physical complex forms; although the phrase "quinolinate synthetase complex" is occasionally used in the literature, it refers to two enzymes that act as monomers.
