PG - 119-23 AB - Rat heart and liver cDNAs for precursor of L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase have been cloned and sequenced. The results indicate that these different rat organs express identical dehydrogenases. Furthermore, pig heart mRNA for L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase precursor was amplified by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and all the cDNA clones were found to encode a precursor of liver L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (X.-Y. He, S.-Y. Yang, Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1392 (1998) 119-126) but not the well-documented heart form of the dehydrogenase (K.G. Bitar et al., FEBS Lett. 116 (1980) 196-198). Sequencing data and other evidence establish that the pig, like the rat, has the same dehydrogenase in heart and liver. Since the size and structure of pig heart L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase are identical to the pig liver dehydrogenase, reports that relied on the published sequence of the pig heart dehydrogenase need to be re-evaluated. For example, the signature pattern of the L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase family is HXFXPX3MXLXE. Furthermore, the published crystal structure of the pig heart dehydrogenase that substantiated each subunit comprising 307 residues with a mercury-binding residue at position 204 (J.J. Birktoft et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 84 (1987) 8262-8266) must be re-examined in accordance with this revelation.
