additional information | polyhydroxyalkanoate contents are slightly reduced in a phaJ deletion mutant DELTAphaJ1 compared to wild-type. phaJ1 gene complementation is performed in Haloferax mediterranei EPSDELTAphaJ1. GC analysis demonstrates that the mutant strain Haloferax mediterranei EPSDELTAphaJ1 utilizes much less amount of accumulated PHA than that of the wild-type Haloferax mediterranei EPS. In contrast, compared to the strain Haloferax mediterranei EPSDELTAphaJ (pWL502) harboring empty plasmid, the phaJ1 complementation strain Haloferax mediterranei EPSDELTAphaJ1 (pWLJ1) harboring the PhaJ1-expression plasmid significantly increases PHA degradation | Haloferax mediterranei |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
evolution | all HFX-gene encoded proteins contain a MaoC-like domain (pfam01575), similar to PhaJAc, which is involved in PHA biosynthesis for supplying (R)-3HB-CoA from fatty acid beta-oxidation | Haloferax mediterranei |
malfunction | polyhydroxyalkanoate contents are slightly reduced in a phaJ deletion mutant DELTAphaJ1 compared to wild-type | Haloferax mediterranei |
metabolism | as the hydration reaction catalyzed by R-ECHs is a reversible process, R-ECHs may be involved in PHA degradation as well as in PHA biosynthesis | Haloferax mediterranei |
physiological function | (R)-specific enoyl-CoA hydratase mediates polyhydroxyalkanoate mobilization in Haloferax mediterranei. Enoyl coenzyme A (enoyl-CoA) hydratases (ECHs) reversibly catalyze the syn and anti hydration of 2-enoyl-CoA to produce (S)- or (R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (3HA-CoA). The (S)-specific ECHs (S-ECHs, EC 4.2.1.17) are involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Through catalyzing the hydration of intermediates in fatty acid beta-oxidation, the (R)-specific ECHs (R-ECHs) may play an important role in fatty acid metabolism in eukaryotes and in polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) biosynthesis in bacteria.
