Gene Description

EHHADH is the peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (LBP; also peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme PBE/PBFE, multifunctional enzyme 1 MFE1), a single 723-residue polypeptide that carries two catalytic activities of the peroxisomal fatty-acid beta-oxidation spiral in one chain. Its N-terminal module has 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase activity (EC 4.2.1.17) that hydrates 2-trans-enoyl-CoA to L-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (step 2), together with an auxiliary Delta-3,Delta-2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity (EC 5.3.3.8) used in unsaturated fatty-acid oxidation. Its C-terminal module has NAD+-dependent L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.1.1.35) that oxidizes the (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediate to 3-oxoacyl-CoA (step 3). EHHADH thus performs the second and third reactions of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway with L-stereochemistry, in contrast to the D-bifunctional protein HSD17B4, which uses the opposite chirality and handles very-long-chain, branched-chain and bile-acid substrates. EHHADH is comparatively more important for medium/long-chain substrates and for the degradation of dicarboxylic acids (omega-oxidation products). The mature enzyme is a peroxisomal-matrix protein imported via a C-terminal PTS1 (SKL) targeting signal, and it is expressed most strongly in liver and in the proximal tubule of the kidney. A dominant EHHADH variant (p.E3K) that mistargets the protein to mitochondria causes Fanconi renotubular syndrome 3.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: What is the physiological substrate spectrum that distinguishes EHHADH (LBP) from HSD17B4 (DBP) in vivo, given that both can catalyze the peroxisomal hydratase/dehydrogenase steps with opposite chirality?

Q: By what mechanism does the FRTS3 p.E3K mistargeting of EHHADH to mitochondria impair mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and proximal-tubule solute transport, if the enzyme's peroxisomal catalytic function is retained?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Quantify accumulation of medium/long-chain dicarboxylic acyl-CoAs and their beta-oxidation flux in EHHADH-null vs HSD17B4-null cells to define the non-redundant substrate niche of LBP.

Experiment: Compare peroxisomal versus mitochondrial localization and downstream metabolic/transport phenotypes of wild-type EHHADH versus the p.E3K FRTS3 variant in proximal tubule cell models.

EHHADH (Q08426, ECHP_HUMAN) β€” Gene Review Notes

Identity and overview

EHHADH is the human peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (LBP; also "peroxisomal
bifunctional enzyme", PBE/PBFE; "multifunctional enzyme 1", MFE1). It is a single
723-residue polypeptide encoded on chromosome 3q26.3-3q28
PMID:8188243.

The protein carries two (arguably three) catalytic activities of the peroxisomal
fatty-acid Ξ²-oxidation spiral in one chain:
- an N-terminal 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase / Ξ”3,Ξ”2-enoyl-CoA isomerase module
(EC 4.2.1.17; EC 5.3.3.8), and
- a C-terminal L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase module (EC 1.1.1.35, NAD+-dependent).

UniProt annotates the domain architecture directly:
REGION 1..282 "Enoyl-CoA hydratase / isomerase" and
REGION 283..572 "3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "REGION 1..282"],
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "REGION 283..572"].

UniProt FUNCTION: "Peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme possessing 2-enoyl-CoA
hydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase
activities. Catalyzes two of the four reactions of the long chain fatty acids
peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Peroxisomal trifunctional enzyme possessing 2-enoyl-CoA"].

Reaction chemistry (steps 2 and 3 of peroxisomal Ξ²-oxidation)

The hydratase step: a (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA = a (2E)-enoyl-CoA + H2O (EC 4.2.1.17,
RHEA:16105) [file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "a (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA = a (2E)-enoyl-CoA + H2O"].
The dehydrogenase step: a (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA + NAD(+) = a 3-oxoacyl-CoA + NADH +
H(+) (EC 1.1.1.35, RHEA:22432)
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "a 3-oxoacyl-CoA + NADH +"].
Note the L (3S) stereochemistry: EHHADH generates/uses the (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA
intermediate, in contrast to the D-bifunctional protein HSD17B4, which uses the
opposite chirality: "With HSD17B4, catalyzes the hydration of trans-2-enoyl-CoA and
the dehydrogenation of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA, but with opposite chiral specificity"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "the dehydrogenation of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA, but with opposite chiral"].

The enzyme acts on a chain-length range; UniProt lists catalytic activity entries for
C6 (hexanoyl), C10 (decanoyl), C16 (hexadecanoyl) and the C16 dicarboxylic (hexadecanedioyl)
series. Kinetic parameters were measured for the dicarboxylic/long-chain substrates:
KM=0.3 uM for (2E)-hexadecenedioyl-CoA and KM=10.4 uM for (2E)-hexadecenoyl-CoA
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "KM=0.3 uM for (2E)-hexadecenedioyl-CoA"].

Direct enzymatic evidence (PMID:15060085, Ferdinandusse et al. 2004)

This is the key experimental paper (abstract-only in cache; full_text_available: false).
Using recombinant human LBP expressed in a yeast fox2 (DBP) deletion mutant plus patient
fibroblast studies, it showed that peroxisomes (not mitochondria) Ξ²-oxidize C16
dicarboxylic acid, and that "the main enzymes involved in beta-oxidation of C16DCA are
SCOX, both LBP and DBP, and sterol carrier protein X"
PMID:15060085.
Importantly it states: "This is the first indication of a specific function for LBP,
which has remained elusive until now"
PMID:15060085.
This paper is the IDA source in GOA for enoyl-CoA hydratase activity (GO:0004300),
(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity (GO:0003857), long-chain (3S)-3-
hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity (GO:0016509), and fatty acid Ξ²-oxidation
(GO:0006635). The dicarboxylic-acid/omega-oxidation-product role and the C16DCA KM are
the defining physiological niche distinguishing EHHADH from HSD17B4/DBP.

Subcellular localization

Peroxisomal matrix protein; imported via a C-terminal PTS1 (type-1 peroxisomal
targeting) tripeptide SKL at residues 721-723 (MOTIF 721..723 "Microbody targeting signal") [file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Microbody targeting signal"].
PMID:1651711 demonstrated PTS1-dependent import: "A tripeptide sequence, SKL, located
at the carboxyl-terminus of human bifunctional enzyme appears to be the targeting
signal for the peroxisomal importation"
PMID:1651711,
and deletion of the last nine residues blocks import
PMID:1651711.
Immunocytochemistry localized the bifunctional protein to peroxisomes of human kidney
proximal tubules PMID:2895531,
PMID:2895531, and of human liver
PMID:9053548.

Tissue expression

Liver and kidney, strongly in terminal proximal tubule segments:
"Liver and kidney. Strongly expressed in the terminal segments of the proximal tubule.
Lower amounts seen in the brain"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Strongly expressed in the"]. Northern analysis
originally showed highest expression in liver and kidney
PMID:8188243.

Disease

Fanconi renotubular syndrome 3 (FRTS3, MIM:615605), autosomal dominant. The disease
variant is not caused by loss of Ξ²-oxidation but by mistargeting of EHHADH: the
p.E3K variant is "mistargeted to mitochondria; results in impaired mitochondrial
oxidative phosphorylation and defects in the transport of fluids across the epithelium
of renal proximal tubular cells"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "mitochondria; results in impaired mitochondrial oxidative"]. UniProt DISEASE:
"generalized dysfunction of the proximal kidney tubule resulting in decreased solute
and water reabsorption ... FRTS3 inheritance is autosomal dominant"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "generalized"]. (Source PMID:24401050, not in cache.)
The enzyme is absent in generalized peroxisome-biogenesis disorders: "Absent in patients
suffering with peroxisomal disorders such as Zellweger syndrome, neonatal
adrenoleukodystrophy and infantile Refsum disease"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Absent in patients suffering with peroxisomal disorders"].

Regulation / PTM

Enzyme activity is enhanced by acetylation: "Enzyme activity enhanced by acetylation"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Enzyme activity enhanced by acetylation"];
"Acetylated, leading to enhanced enzyme activity"
[file:human/EHHADH/EHHADH-uniprot.txt "Acetylated, leading to enhanced enzyme activity"]
(sites Lys-165/171/346/584; source PMID:20167786, not in cache). EHHADH is a classic
PPARΞ± target gene (peroxisome-proliferator inducible), consistent with its being one of
the four "classic" inducible peroxisomal Ξ²-oxidation enzymes, though that regulatory
detail is not quoted from the UniProt file here.

Interactions

  • Catalase (CAT, P04040) β€” enzyme binding, IPI, PMID:16781659. Yeast two-hybrid +
    affinity purification + co-IP showed L-bifunctional enzyme interacts with catalase:
    "catalase physically interacts with L-bifunctional enzyme (L-BFE)"
    PMID:16781659; proposed to help localize catalase at
    the site of H2O2 production. This is a biologically plausible peroxisomal-matrix
    interaction (catalase detoxifies the H2O2 produced by acyl-CoA oxidase upstream in the
    same pathway).
  • The large set of GO:0005515 "protein binding" IPI annotations
    (PMID:25416956, PMID:31515488, PMID:32296183, PMID:33961781, PMID:36217029,
    PMID:40205054) derive from high-throughput interactome maps (Y2H HuRI / affinity-MS /
    spatial proteomics / SARS-CoV-2 contactome). The IntAct partner lists in the UniProt
    entry (AARS2, ACTB, ACTG1, DES, MID1, SSNA1, TPP2, catalase-family, many TRIMs, etc.)
    are largely non-peroxisomal and non-specific; these are uninformative for EHHADH's
    molecular function and are marked over-annotated (bare "protein binding" is
    discouraged in core functions). PMID:36217029 is a SARS-CoV-2 N-protein interaction
    (xeno), of no relevance to native EHHADH function.

Core function summary

Two (three) catalytic MFs, all peroxisomal-matrix, all in the fatty-acid Ξ²-oxidation
spiral:
1. enoyl-CoA hydratase activity (GO:0004300) β€” hydrates 2-trans-enoyl-CoA to
L-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (step 2). IDA PMID:15060085.
2. (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity (GO:0003857) β€” NAD+-dependent
oxidation of L-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to 3-oxoacyl-CoA (step 3). IDA PMID:15060085;
requires NAD+ binding (GO:0070403). The long-chain-specific variant GO:0016509 is a
more precise child (IDA PMID:15060085).
3. Ξ”3,Ξ”2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity (GO:0004165) β€” auxiliary activity for
unsaturated-fatty-acid oxidation (ISS/IEA, by similarity to rat P07896).

Core BP: fatty acid beta-oxidation (GO:0006635), specifically the peroxisomal
acyl-CoA-oxidase-initiated variant (GO:0033540); physiological niche is degradation of
medium/long-chain dicarboxylic acids (omega-oxidation products) and the branched-chain
substrate 2-methyl-2E-butenoyl-CoA. Core CC: peroxisome (GO:0005777) / peroxisomal
matrix (GO:0005782)
.

Annotation-review decisions (rationale)

  • Experimental MF/BP/CC annotations sourced to PMID:15060085 (hydratase, dehydrogenase,
    long-chain dehydrogenase, Ξ²-oxidation) and the IDA peroxisome-localization annotations
    (PMID:9053548, PMID:2895531, PMID:1651711) β†’ ACCEPT (core).
  • IBA (GO_REF:0000033) for dehydrogenase, peroxisome, Ξ²-oxidation β†’ ACCEPT (phylogenetically
    well-supported, matches experimental).
  • ISS/IEA duplicates of the two core activities and peroxisome/Ξ²-oxidation β†’ ACCEPT
    (consistent with experimental).
  • GO:0004165 Ξ”3,Ξ”2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ISS/IEA) and GO:0016863 (parent) β†’ KEEP_AS_NON_CORE:
    a real auxiliary activity of the N-terminal module (by similarity), but not the defining
    core function; supported only by similarity, not human IDA.
  • GO:0018812 "3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase activity" (RHEA IEA + Reactome TAS) β†’ MODIFY
    to GO:0004300. The RHEA/Reactome mapping labels the hydratase reaction as a "dehydratase";
    GO:0004300 (enoyl-CoA hydratase) is the correct, curated term for this enzyme's step-2
    activity and is already independently annotated by IDA.
  • Broad IEA parent terms (GO:0003824 catalytic activity; GO:0016491 oxidoreductase activity;
    GO:0016616 oxidoreductase acting on CH-OH … NAD/NADP; GO:0006631 fatty acid metabolic
    process) β†’ MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED: correct but uninformatively general; better specific
    terms are already present.
  • GO:0070403 NAD+ binding (IEA:InterPro) β†’ ACCEPT as non-core supporting activity of the
    dehydrogenase module.
  • GO:0005829 cytosol (IEA:Ensembl and Reactome TAS) β†’ MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED: the cytosol
    annotations reflect the transient pre-import (PTS1-folded) cargo state in the Reactome
    peroxisomal-import pathway; the mature functional enzyme is peroxisomal-matrix, and IDA
    evidence localizes it to peroxisomes. Not a genuine steady-state functional location.
  • GO:0019899 enzyme binding IPI PMID:16781659 (catalase) β†’ KEEP_AS_NON_CORE: a specific,
    biologically plausible peroxisomal interaction, but not a molecular function per se.
    The IEA (Ensembl-projected) enzyme-binding duplicate β†’ MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED.
  • All bare GO:0005515 "protein binding" IPI (6 HT-interactome PMIDs) β†’ MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED
    (per policy, never REMOVE an IPI); uninformative and dominated by non-peroxisomal HT hits.
  • NAS annotations (PMID:8188243) for the two activities, Ξ²-oxidation, peroxisome β†’ ACCEPT:
    author-stated but corroborated by experimental annotations.
  • Reactome TAS for the two activities and peroxisomal-matrix/cytosol β†’ ACCEPT (activities/matrix)
    or MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED (cytosol import-intermediate).

QA re-review β€” 2026-07-23

Conservative QA pass of EHHADH-ai-review.yaml (50 annotations). No edits made; the
review is biologically and curatorially sound and validates clean.

  • Validation: βœ“ Valid under default, --strict, --verbose, and --terms. No
    warnings, no PENDING.
  • Same-term action consistency: verified by hand across all recurring terms β€” each has a
    single consistent action across evidence types (GO:0003857 ACCEPTΓ—6, GO:0004300 ACCEPTΓ—4,
    GO:0006635 ACCEPTΓ—5, GO:0005777 ACCEPTΓ—6, GO:0005515 MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATEDΓ—6,

    GO:0004165 KEEP_AS_NON_COREΓ—2, GO:0019899 KEEP_AS_NON_COREΓ—2, GO:0005782 ACCEPTΓ—3).
  • protein binding (GO:0005515): all 6 HT-interactome IPIs are MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED
    (none ACCEPT); correct per IPI-never-REMOVE policy.
  • core_functions: two catalytic MFs (GO:0004300 hydratase, GO:0003857 dehydrogenase) are
    captured with specific curated terms, not over-generalized; ids all in correct GO aspect.
  • Note (left as-is): the GO:0016509 long-chain-dehydrogenase annotations (IEA + IDA) use
    the verbatim supporting_text "KM=0.3 uM for (2E)-hexadecenedioyl-CoA", which is an
    enoyl-CoA (hydratase-substrate) KM from UniProt rather than a dehydrogenase-substrate
    KM. It is verbatim, demonstrates long-chain/dicarboxylic substrate handling, and the
    ACCEPT action is independently justified by the PMID:15060085 IDA; UniProt has no
    long-chain dehydrogenase-specific KM to substitute, so no change was warranted.

description: >-
  EHHADH is the peroxisomal L-bifunctional protein (LBP; also peroxisomal bifunctional
  enzyme PBE/PBFE, multifunctional enzyme 1 MFE1), a single 723-residue polypeptide that
  carries two catalytic activities of the peroxisomal fatty-acid beta-oxidation spiral in
  one chain. Its N-terminal module has 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase activity (EC 4.2.1.17) that
  hydrates 2-trans-enoyl-CoA to L-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA (step 2), together with an
  auxiliary Delta-3,Delta-2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity (EC 5.3.3.8) used in unsaturated
  fatty-acid oxidation. Its C-terminal module has NAD+-dependent L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA
  dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.1.1.35) that oxidizes the (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA intermediate
  to 3-oxoacyl-CoA (step 3). EHHADH thus performs the second and third reactions of the
  peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway with L-stereochemistry, in contrast to the D-bifunctional
  protein HSD17B4, which uses the opposite chirality and handles very-long-chain, branched-chain
  and bile-acid substrates. EHHADH is comparatively more important for medium/long-chain
  substrates and for the degradation of dicarboxylic acids (omega-oxidation products). The
  mature enzyme is a peroxisomal-matrix protein imported via a C-terminal PTS1 (SKL) targeting
  signal, and it is expressed most strongly in liver and in the proximal tubule of the kidney.
  A dominant EHHADH variant (p.E3K) that mistargets the protein to mitochondria causes Fanconi
  renotubular syndrome 3.
