Butyryl-CoA (or butyryl-coenzyme A, butanoyl-CoA) is an organic coenzyme A-containing derivative of butyric acid. [1] It is a natural product found in many biological pathways, such as fatty acid metabolism (degradation and elongation), fermentation, and 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation. It mostly participates as an intermediate, a precursor to and converted from crotonyl-CoA. [2] This interconversion is mediated by butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase.

Contents

From redox data, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase shows little to no activity at pH higher than 7.0. This is important as enzyme midpoint potential is at pH 7.0 and at 25 °C. Therefore, changes above from this value will denature the enzyme. [3]

Within the human colon, butyrate helps supply energy to the gut epithelium and helps regulate cell responses. [4]

Butyryl-CoA has a very high potential Gibbs energy, -462.53937 kcal/mol, stored at its bond with CoA. [5]

Reaction

Fatty acid metabolism

Butyryl-CoA interconverts to and from 3-oxohexanoyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (or thiolase). [6] In terms of organic chemistry, the reaction is the reverse of a Claisen condensation. [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] Subsequently butyryl-CoA is converted into crotonyl-CoA. The conversion is catalyzed by electron-transfer flavoprotein 2,3-oxidoreductase. [13] This enzyme has many synonyms that are orthologous to each other, including butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase [14] [15] [16] , acyl-CoA dehydrogenase [17] , acyl-CoA oxidase [18] , and short-chain 2-methylacyl-CoA dehydrogenase [19]

Fermentation

Butyryl-CoA is an intermediate of the fermentation pathway found in Clostridium kluyveri. [20] [21] [22] This species can ferment acetyl-CoA and succinate into butanoate, extracting energy through the process. [21] [22] The fermentation pathway from ethanol to acetyl-CoA to butanoate is also known as ABE fermentation.

Butyryl-CoA is reduced from crotonyl-CoA catalyzing by butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, where two NADH molecules donate four electrons, with two of them reducing ferredoxin ([2Fe-2S] cluster) and the other two reducing crotonyl-CoA into butyryl-CoA. [23] [24] [25] Subsequently, butyryl-CoA is converted into butanoate by propionyl-CoA transferase, which transfers the coenzyme-A group onto an acetate, forming acetyl-CoA. [26] [27]

It is essential in reducing ferredoxins in anaerobic bacteria and archaea so that electron transport phosphorylation and substrate-level phosphorylation can occur with increased efficiency. [28]

4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation

Overview of 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation

Butyryl-CoA is also an intermediate found in 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) degradation. [29] 4-aminobutanoate (GABA) has two fates in this degradation pathway. When discovered in Acetoanaerobium sticklandii and Pseudomonas fluorescens , 4-aminobutanoate was converted into glutamate , which can be deaminated, releasing ammonium. [30] [31] [32] However, in Acetoanaerobium sticklandii and Clostridium aminobutyricum, 4-aminobutanoate was converted into succinate semialdehyde and, through a series of steps via the intermediate of butanoyl-CoA, finally converted into butanoate. [33] [34]

The degradation pathway plays an important role in regulating the concentration of GABA, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that reduces neuronal excitability. [35] Dysregulation of GABA degradation can lead to imbalances in neurotransmitter levels, contributing to various neurological disorders such as epilepsy, anxiety, and depression. [36] [37] The reaction mechanism is the same as that in the fermentation pathway, where butyryl-CoA is first reduced from crotonyl-CoA and then converted into butanoate. [29]

Regulation

Butyryl-CoA acts upon butanol dehydrogenase via competitive inhibition. The adenine moiety can bind butanol dehydrogenase and reduce its activity. [38] The phosphate moiety of butyryl-CoA is found to have inhibitory activities upon its binding with phosphotransbutyrylase. [39]

Butyryl-CoA is also believed to have inhibitory effects on acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase [40] , DL-methylmalonyl-CoA racemase [41] , and glycine N-acyltransferase [42] , however, the specific mechanism remains unknown.

Coenzyme A (CoA, SHCoA, CoASH) is a coenzyme, notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. All genomes sequenced to date encode enzymes that use coenzyme A as a substrate, and around 4% of cellular enzymes use it (or a thioester) as a substrate. In humans, CoA biosynthesis requires cysteine, pantothenate (vitamin B5), and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Butyric acid, also known under the systematic name butanoic acid, is a straight-chain alkyl carboxylic acid with the chemical formula CH3CH2CH2CO2H. It is an oily, colorless liquid with an unpleasant odor. Isobutyric acid is an isomer. Salts and esters of butyric acid are known as butyrates or butanoates. The acid does not occur widely in nature, but its esters are widespread. It is a common industrial chemical and an important component in the mammalian gut.

Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ACADs) are a class of enzymes that function to catalyze the initial step in each cycle of fatty acid β-oxidation in the mitochondria of cells. Their action results in the introduction of a trans double-bond between C2 (α) and C3 (β) of the acyl-CoA thioester substrate. Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a required co-factor in addition to the presence of an active site glutamate in order for the enzyme to function.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Butanol fuel</span> Fuel for internal combustion engines

Butanol may be used as a fuel in an internal combustion engine. It is more similar to gasoline than it is to ethanol. A C4-hydrocarbon, butanol is a drop-in fuel and thus works in vehicles designed for use with gasoline without modification. Both n-butanol and isobutanol have been studied as possible fuels. Both can be produced from biomass (as "biobutanol" ) as well as from fossil fuels (as "petrobutanol"). The chemical properties depend on the isomer (n-butanol or isobutanol), not on the production method.
