We have purified to homogeneity the long-chain specific 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase from mitochondrial membranes of human infant liver. The enzyme is composed of non-identical subunits of 71kDa and 47kDa within a native structure of 230kDa. The pure enzyme is active with 3-ketohexanoyl-CoA and gives maximum activity with 3-ketoacyl-CoA substrates of C10to C16acyl-chain length but is inactive with acetoacetyl-CoA. In addition to 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, the enzyme possesses 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase and 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase activities which cannot be separated from the dehydrogenase. None of these enzymes show activity with C4substrates but all are active with C6and longer acyl-chain length substrates. They are thus distinct from any described previously. This human liver mitochondrial membrane-bound enzyme catalyses the conversion of medium- and long-chain 2-enoyl-CoA compounds to: 1) 3-ketoacyl-CoA in the presence of NAD alone and 2) to acetyl-CoA (plus the corresponding acyl-CoA derivatives) in the presence of NAD and CoASH. It is therefore a multifunctional enzyme, resembling the beta-oxidation enzyme ofE. coli, but unique in its membrane location and substrate specificity. We propose that its existence explains the repeated failure to detect any intermediates of mitochondrial beta-oxidation.
