Phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase: recognition of 3-methyl-branched acyl-CoAs and requirement for GTP or ATP and Mg2+ in addition to its known hydroxylation cofactors
Phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase is a peroxisomal α-oxidation enzyme that catalyzes the 2-hydroxylation of 3-methyl-branched acyl-CoAs. A polyhistidine-tagged human phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase was expressed in E. coli and subsequently purified as an active protein. The recombinant enzyme required GTP or ATP...
