Enzyme Information

1.3.1.108
Caffeoyl-CoA reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt H6LGM7
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.
