title: Purification and some properties of an acryloyl-CoA reductase of Clostridium kluyveri.
abstract: Acryloyl-CoA reductase, a presumably previously unknown soluble enzyme, is present in Clostridium kluyveri. It catalyses the reduction of the carbon-carbon double bond of acryloyl-CoA or ethyl vinyl ketone and other alpha, beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds at the expense of reduced methylviologen. On the basis of a Vmax/Km ratio, which is at least 18 times higher than that for the next best substrate (E)-2-butenoyl-CoA, the enzyme is called acryloyl-CoA reductase. A purity of over 90% was achieved. The apparent molecular mass, as determined by gel chromatography, is 28.4 kDa. Dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis shows subunits with a molecular mass of 14.2 kDa. Based on a molecular mass of 28.4 kDa about 1.5 mol FMN have been observed. Less than 0.2 g-atom iron per mol protein were determined. Ferredoxin or flavodoxin seem to be able to carry electrons from hydrogenase to the acryloyl-CoA reductase. The addition of hydrogen to the alpha-carbon of ethyl vinyl ketone occurs from the re-side.
