Title
Metabolism of ferulic acid to vanillin. A bacterial gene of the enoyl-SCoA hydratase/isomerase superfamily encodes an enzyme for the hydration and cleavage of a hydroxycinnamic acid SCoA thioester.
The enzyme is a member of the enoyl-CoA hydratase/isomerase superfamily. It catalyses a two-step process involving first the hydration of the double bond of feruloyl-CoA and then the cleavage of the resultant beta-hydroxy thioester by retro-aldol reaction. (E)-caffeoyl-CoA and (E)-4-coumaroyl-CoA are also substrates.
