1.3.8.13

Accepted name:

crotonobetainyl-CoA reductase

Reaction:

γ-butyrobetainyl-CoA + electron-transfer flavoprotein = crotonobetainyl-CoA + reduced electron-transfer flavoprotein

Glossary:

γ-butyrobetainyl-CoA = 4-(trimethylammonio)butanoyl-CoA
crotonobetainyl-CoA = (E)-4-(trimethylammonio)but-2-enoyl-CoA

Other name(s):

caiA (gene name)

Systematic name:

γ-butyrobetainyl-CoA:electron-transfer flavoprotein 2,3-oxidoreductase

Comments:

The enzyme has been purified from the bacterium Escherichia coli O44 K74, in which it forms a complex with EC 2.8.3.21, L-carnitine CoA-transferase. The electron donor is believed to be an electron-transfer flavoprotein (ETF) encoded by the fixA and fixB genes.
