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.

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?
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 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 / Ξ3,Ξ2-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"

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"

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"].
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.

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

the four "classic" inducible peroxisomal Ξ²-oxidation enzymes, though that regulatory

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. Ξ3,Ξ2-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

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.
