Coenzyme A acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase (ACDH), Ethanolamine utilization protein EutE, and related proteins
Coenzyme A acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase (ACDH), an NAD+ and CoA-dependent acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetylating (EC=1.2.1.10), functions as a single enzyme (such as the Ethanolamine utilization protein, EutE, in Salmonella typhimurium) or as part of a multifunctional enzyme to convert acetaldehyde into acetyl-CoA. The E. coli aldehyde-alcohol dehydrogenase includes the functional domains, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), ACDH, and pyruvate-formate-lyase deactivase; and the Entamoeba histolytica aldehyde-alcohol dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH20A1) includes the functional domains ADH and ACDH, and may be critical enzymes in the fermentative pathway.
