description: >-
  CG4592 is one of a tandem cluster of three Drosophila melanogaster mitochondrial enoyl-CoA delta
  isomerase 1 paralogs (with CG4594 and CG4598), the mitochondrial-type (human ECI1 class)
  delta(3),delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerases (EC 5.3.3.8). It is an auxiliary enzyme of unsaturated fatty
  acid beta-oxidation that isomerizes both 3-cis (3Z) and 3-trans (3E) enoyl-CoA double bonds into the
  2-trans (2E) form (with a preference for (3Z)-enoyl-CoAs), regenerating the substrate of the core
  enoyl-CoA hydratase so that unsaturated fatty acids with double bonds at odd-numbered positions can
  be fully degraded. It localizes to the mitochondrial matrix and, unlike the peroxisomal-type
  isomerase Dci, is the mitochondrial isomerase relevant to the mitochondrial unsaturated-FAO cassette. Among the three tandem paralogs, CG4592 currently carries the sparsest annotation set (electronic isomerase MF plus matrix localization only).

    Mitochondrial delta(3),delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase (EC 5.3.3.8): isomerizes 3Z/3E-enoyl-CoA to

    re-enter the beta-oxidation spiral. One of three fly mitochondrial ECI1 paralogs (CG4592/CG4594/CG4598).

suggested_questions:
- question: >-
    Do the three tandem mitochondrial enoyl-CoA delta-isomerase paralogs (CG4592/CG4594/CG4598) have
    distinct expression or substrate roles, or are they functionally redundant copies of the
    mitochondrial delta(3),delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase?
suggested_experiments:
- description: >-
    Expression profiling and individual/combined knockouts of CG4592, CG4594 and CG4598 to test
    functional redundancy and confirm the mitochondrial delta(3),delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase step of
    unsaturated fatty acid beta-oxidation in the fly.
  hypothesis: >-
    The CG4592/CG4594/CG4598 cluster provides the mitochondrial delta(3),delta(2)-enoyl-CoA isomerase
    activity (distinct from peroxisomal Dci) required for the mitochondrial unsaturated-FAO cassette.
