(3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase
This enzyme catalyses a hydration step in peroxisomal beta-oxidation. The human multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2) is a 79000 Da enzyme composed of three functional units: (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 and sterol carrier protein 2-like units [1]. The enzymes from Aeromonas caviae [4] and Arabidopsis thaliana [5] are monofunctional enzymes. 2-Enoyl-CoA hydratase 3 from Candida tropicalis is a part from multifunctional enzyme type 2 [3].
peroxisomal multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2) is a 79000 Da enzyme composed of three functional units: (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 and sterol carrier protein 2-like units. It catalyzes the second and third steps of peroxisomal beta-oxidation, and its importance in human lipid metabolism is shown by the severe clinical symptoms (dysmorphic features, such as macrocephaly and large fontanelles, hypotonia, seizures, etc.) in patients having defects in the gene encoding MFE-2. Typical biochemical observations include a high ratio of C26:0 to C22:0 fatty acids and elevated levels of pristanic acid (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecanoic acid) in the patients plasma and fibroblasts, indicating the significance of MFE-2 in the breakdown of very-long-chain and alpha-methylbranched-chain fatty acids. The patients also have high levels of di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acids, which are precursors of bile acids, showing that MFE-2 also participates in bile acid synthesis
peroxisomal hydratase 2 together with (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and peroxisomal hydratase 1 together with (3S)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, are present as multifunctional enzymes. When present simultaneously in peroxisomes, beta-oxidation has two stereochemical possibilities

LITERATURE
hanging-drop vapor diffusion method, crystal structure to 3 A resolution. MFE-2 has a two-domain subunit structure with a C-domain complete hot-dog fold housing the active site, and an N-domain incomplete hot-dog fold housing the cavity for the aliphatic acyl part of the substrate molecule. The ability of human hydratase 2 to utilize such bulky compounds which are not physiological substrates for the fungal ortholog, e.g. CoA esters of C26 fatty acids, pristanic acid and di/trihydroxycholestanoic acids, is explained by a large hydrophobic cavity formed upon the movements of the extremely mobile loops IIII in the N-domain. In the unliganded form of human hydratase 2, however, the loop I blocks the entrance of fatty enoyl-CoAs with chain-length above C8
site-directed mutagenesis is used for construction of mutants corresponding to 17 reported missense mutations of multifunctional enzyme type 2 hydratase. Some mutants are almost or completely inactive causing the D-bifunctional protein deficiency type II
