KEGG ENZYME: 1.2.1.50

ENZYME: 1.2.1.50

Entry

EC 1.2.1.50 Enzyme

Name

long-chain acyl-protein thioester reductase;
luxC (gene name);
acyl-CoA reductase;
acyl coenzyme A reductase;
long-chain-aldehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase (acyl-CoA-forming);
long-chain-fatty-acyl-CoA reductase

Class

Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the aldehyde or oxo group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor

Sysname

long-chain-aldehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase (protein thioester-forming)

Reaction(IUBMB)

a long-chain aldehyde + [protein]-L-cysteine + NADP+ = a [protein]-S-(long-chain fatty acyl)-L-cysteine + NADPH + H+ [RN:R10549]

Reaction(KEGG)

R10549;
(other) R02620

Substrate

long-chain aldehyde [CPD:C00609];
[protein]-L-cysteine [CPD:C02743];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006]

Product

[protein]-S-(long-chain fatty acyl)-L-cysteine;
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]

Comment

Together with a hydrolase component (EC 3.1.2.2 and EC 3.1.2.14) and a synthetase component (EC 6.2.1.19), this enzyme forms a multienzyme fatty acid reductase complex that produces the long-chain aldehyde substrate of the bacterial luciferase enzyme (EC 1.14.14.3). The enzyme is acylated by receiving an acyl group from EC 6.2.1.19, and catalyses the reduction of the acyl group, releasing the aldehyde product. The enzyme is also able to accept the acyl group from a long-chain acyl-CoA.
