The enzyme, found in some amino acid-fermenting anaerobic bacteria, participates in the fermentation pathways of L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, and L-tryptophan. It is a heterodimeric protein consisting of the FldB and FldC polypeptides, both of which contain an [4Fe-4S] cluster, and forms a complex with EC 2.8.3.17, 3-(aryl)acryloyl-CoA:(R)-3-(aryl)lactate CoA-transferase (FldA). In order to catalyse the reaction, the enzyme requires one high-energy electron that transiently reduces the electrophilic thiol ester carbonyl of the substrate to a nucleophilic ketyl radical anion, facilitating the elimination of the hydroxyl group. This electron, which is provided by by EC 5.6.1.9, (R)-2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activating ATPase, needs to be supplied only once, before the first reaction takes place, as it is regenerated at the end of each reaction cycle. The enzyme acts on (R)-3-(aryl)lactoyl-CoAs produced by FldA, and regenerates the CoA donors used by that enzyme.

(R)-3-phenyllactyl-CoA hydro-lyase

phenylalanine catabolism in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Archaeoglobus fulgidus involves phenylalanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase, phenyllactate dehydrogenase, radical iron-sulfur 3-phenyllactyl-CoA dehydratase, phenylpropionyl-CoA dehydrogenase, aryl pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase, ADP-forming acetyl-CoA synthetase and family III CoA-transferase. The pathway is not fermentative but coupled to sulfate reduction

heterotrimeric phenyllactate dehydratase, FldABC, catalyses the reversible dehydration of (R)-phenyllactate to (E)-cinnamate in two steps: first CoA-transfer from the cofactor cinnamoyl-CoA to phenyllactate to yield phenyllactyl-CoA and the product cinnamate mediated by FldA, a (R)-phenyllactate CoA-transferase, second dehydration of phenyllactyl-CoA to cinnamoyl-CoA mediated by heterodimeric FldBC, a phenyllactyl-CoA dehydratase. Phenyllactate dehydratase requires initiation by ATP, MgCl2 and a reducing agent such as dithionite mediated by an extremely oxygen-sensitive initiator protein (FldI) present in the cell-free extract
comparison of 2-hydroxyglutaryl-CoA dehydratase from Acidaminococcus fermentans, Clostridium symbiosum and Fusobacterium nucleatum, 2-phenyllactate dehydratase from Clostridium sporogenes, 2-hydroxyisocaproyl-CoA dehydratase from Clostridium difficile, and lactyl-CoA dehydratase from Clostridium propionicum. The 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratases are two-component systems composed of an extremely oxygen-sensitive component A, an activator, and component D, the actual dehydratase. Component A, a homodimer with one [4Fe-4S]cluster, transfers an electron to component D, a heterodimer with 1-2 [4Fe-4S] clusters and FMN, concomitant with hydrolysis of two ATP. From component D the electron is further transferred to the substrate, where it facilitates elimination of the hydroxyl group. In the resulting enoxyradical the beta-hydrogen is activated. After elimination the electron is handed-over to the next incoming substrate without further hydrolysis of ATP. The helix-cluster-helix architecture of component A forms an angle of 105°, which probably opens to 180° upon binding of ATP resembling an archer shooting arrows
in mice colonized by a wild-type Clostridium sporogenes strain, the mean indolepropionic acid concentration is around 80 microM, but in mice colonized with theFfldC mutant, indolepropionic acid is undetectable. Animals colonized by the FldC mutant exhibit significantly elevated frequencies of circulating myeloid cells, including neutrophils and classical (Ly6C+) monocytes, as well as increased antigen-experienced effector/memory T cells. Mice colonized by the FldC mutant strain show a significant increase in circulating Clostridium sporogenes-specific IgG
