Other name(s): fabZ (gene name); fabA (gene name); D-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl carrier protein] dehydratase; D-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase; β-hydroxyoctanoyl-acyl carrier protein dehydrase; β-hydroxyoctanoyl thioester dehydratase; β-hydroxyoctanoyl-ACP-dehydrase; (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydro-lyase; (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydro-lyase (oct-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]-forming); 3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase

Systematic name: (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-[acyl-carrier protein] hydro-lyase (trans-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]-forming)

Comments: This enzyme is responsible for the dehydration step of the dissociated (type II) fatty-acid biosynthesis system that occurs in plants and bacteria. The enzyme uses fatty acyl thioesters of ACP in vivo. Different forms of the enzyme may have preferences for substrates with different chain length. For example, the activity of FabZ, the ubiquitous enzyme in bacteria, decreases with increasing chain length. Gram-negative bacteria that produce unsaturated fatty acids, such as Escherichia coli, have another form (FabA) that prefers intermediate chain length, and also catalyses EC 5.3.3.14, trans-2-decenoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] isomerase. Despite the differences both forms can catalyse all steps leading to the synthesis of palmitate (C16:0). FabZ, but not FabA, can also accept unsaturated substrates [4].

Other name(s): reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate dehydratase; ATP-dependent H4NAD(P)+OH dehydratase; (6S)-β-6-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide hydro-lyase(ATP-hydrolysing); (6S)-6-β-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide hydro-lyase (ATP-hydrolysing; NADH-forming)

Systematic name: (6S)-6β-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide hydro-lyase (ATP-hydrolysing; NADH-forming)

Comments: Acts equally well on hydrated NADH and hydrated NADPH. NAD(P)H spontaneously hydrates to both the (6S)- and (6R)- isomers, and these are interconverted by EC 5.1.99.6, NAD(P)H-hydrate epimerase, to a 60:40 ratio [4]. Hence EC 4.2.1.93 together with EC 5.1.99.6 can restore the mixture of hydrates into NAD(P)H [3,4]. The enzyme from eukaryotes has no activity with ADP, contrary to the enzyme from bacteria (cf. EC 4.2.1.136, ADP-dependent NAD(P)H-hydrate dehydratase) [4].

EC 4.2.1.96

Accepted name: 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase

Reaction: 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin = 6,7-dihydrobiopterin + H2O

For diagram of reactionclick here

Glossary: 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin = 6-[(1R,2S)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl]-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4a-hydroxypterin
6,7-dihydrobiopterin = 6-[(1R,2S)-1,2-dihydroxypropyl]-6,7-dihydropterin

Other name(s): 4α-hydroxy-tetrahydropterin dehydratase; 4a-carbinolamine dehydratase; pterin-4α-carbinolamine dehydratase; 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin hydro-lyase

Systematic name: a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin hydro-lyase (6,7-dihydrobiopterin-forming)

Comments: In concert with EC 1.5.1.34, 6,7-dihydropteridine reductase, the enzyme recycles 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin back to tetrahydrobiopterin, a cosubstrate for several enzymes, including aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. The enzyme is bifunctional, and also acts as a dimerization cofactor of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1).
