FunFam 1: Electron transfer flavoprotein, alpha subunit

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Caffeoyl-CoA reductase. [EC: 1.3.1.108]
3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoyl-CoA + 2 NAD(+) + 2 reduced ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster = (2E)-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enoyl-CoA + 2 NADH + 2 oxidized ferredoxin [iron-sulfur] cluster.
  • The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Acetobacterium woodii, couples the endergonic ferredoxin reduction with NADH as reductant to the exergonic reduction of caffeoyl-CoA with the same reductant.
  • It uses the mechanism of electron bifurcation to overcome the steep energy barrier in ferredoxin reduction.
  • It also reduces 4-coumaroyl-CoA and feruloyl-CoA.
