General annotation (Comments)

Function

Catalyzes the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA to L-carnitine to generate L-carnitinyl-CoA and gamma-butyrobetaine. Is also able to catalyze the reversible transfer of the CoA moiety from gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA or L-carnitinyl-CoA to crotonobetaine to generate crotonobetainyl-CoA. HAMAP MF_01050

Pathway

Amine and polyamine metabolism; carnitine metabolism. HAMAP MF_01050

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm HAMAP MF_01050.

Induction

By L-carnitine or crotonobetaine. HAMAP MF_01050

Miscellaneous

Some strains of E.coli, such as ATCC 25922, can metabolize carnitine under aerobiosis. HAMAP MF_01050

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the CaiB/BaiF CoA-transferase family.

Caution

Was originally (Ref.1) thought to be an L-carnitine dehydratase.
