A bacterial homolog to the mitochondrial enoyl-CoA hydratase

Gene. 1991 Oct 30;107(1):171-2. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(91)90313-z.

Abstract

A 257-amino acid (aa) open reading frame in the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodobacter capsulatus, shows significant homology to the mitochondrial enoyl-CoA hydratase (290 aa). This similarity in size and sequence suggests that R. capsulatus oxidizes fatty acids using specific components, more like the mitochondrial system than the multifunctional component system of Escherichia coli.
