4.2.1.120

Accepted name:

4-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA dehydratase

Reaction:

4-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA = (E)-but-2-enoyl-CoA + H₂O

Glossary:

4-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA = 4-hydroxybutyryl-CoA
(E)-but-2-enoyl-CoA = crotonyl-CoA

Systematic name:

4-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA hydro-lyase

Comments:

Contains FAD and a [4Fe-4S] iron-sulfur cluster. The enzyme has been characterized from several microorganisms, including Clostridium kluyveri, where it participates in succinate fermentation [1,2], Clostridium aminobutyricum, where it participates in 4-aminobutyrate degradation [3,4], and Metallosphaera sedula, where it participates in the 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutyrate cycle, an autotrophic CO₂ fixation pathway found in some thermoacidophilic archaea [5].
