InterPro: IPR013764 Acyl-CoA oxidase/dehydrogenase, type1/2, C-terminal

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases are a family of flavoproteins that catalyse the alpha,beta-dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA thioesters to the corresponding trans 2,3-enoyl CoA-products with the concomitant reduction of enzyme-bound FAD. Different family members share a high sequence identity, catalytic mechanisms, and structural properties, but differ in the position of their catalytic bases and in their substrate binding specificity. Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase [1] prefers short chain substrates, medium chain- and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases prefer medium and long chain substrates, respectively, and Isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase [2] prefers branched-chain substrates.

The monomeric enzyme is folded into three domains of approximately equal size, where the N-terminal domain is all-alpha, the middle domain is an open (5,8) barrel, and the C-terminal domain is a four-helical bundle. The constituent families differ in the number of C-terminal domains. This entry represents the C-terminal domain found in both type 1 and type 2 enzymes.
