Crotonyl-coA/reductases
[edit]Before a 2007 report by Alber and coworkers, crotonyl-coA carboxylases and reductases (CCRs) were known for reducing crotonyl-coA to butyryl-coA.[1] The report by Alber and coworkers concluded that a specific CCR homolog was able to reduce crotonyl-coA to (2S)-ethyl malonyl-coA which is a favorable reaction.[1] The specific CCR homolog came from the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides.[1]
Role of Crotonyl-coA in Transcription
[edit]Post-translational modification of histones either by acetylation or crotonylation is important for the active transcription of genes.[2] Histone crotonylation is regulated by the concentration of crotonyl-coA which can change based on environmental cell conditions or genetic factors.[2]
