ENZYME entry: EC 2.8.3.25

Accepted Name
bile acid CoA-transferase
Alternative Name(s)
bile acid coenzyme A transferase
Reaction catalysed
  • cholate + lithocholoyl-CoA <=> choloyl-CoA + lithocholate
  • cholate + deoxycholoyl-CoA <=> choloyl-CoA + deoxycholate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the gut bacterium Clostridium scindens, catalyzes the last step in bile acid 7alpha- dehydroxylation, the removal of the CoA moiety from the products.
  • By using a transferase rather than hydrolase, the bacteria conserve the thioester bond energy, saving ATP molecules.
  • The enzyme has a broad substrate specificity and can use multiple acceptors, including allocholate, ursodeoxycholate, and beta- muricholate.
  • Formerly EC 3.1.2.26.
