Abstract
Facultative anaerobic bacteria such as Escherichia coli have two α2β2 heterotetrameric trifunctional enzymes (TFE), catalyzing the last three steps of the β-oxidation cycle: soluble aerobic TFE (EcTFE) and membrane-associated anaerobic TFE (anEcTFE), closely related to the human mitochondrial TFE (HsTFE). The cryo-EM structure of anEcTFE and crystal structures of anEcTFE-α show that the overall assembly of anEcTFE and HsTFE is similar. However, their membrane-binding properties differ considerably. The shorter A5-H7 and H8 regions of anEcTFE-α result in weaker α-β as well as α-membrane interactions, respectively. The protruding H-H region of anEcTFE-β is therefore more critical for membrane-association. Mutational studies also show that this region is important for the stability of the anEcTFE-β dimer and anEcTFE heterotetramer. The fatty acyl tail binding tunnel of the anEcTFE-α hydratase domain, as in HsTFE-α, is wider than in EcTFE-α, accommodating longer fatty acyl tails, in good agreement with their respective substrate specificities.

Abstract
A novel enzyme Bi76 comprising GH10, E_set_Esterase_N, and CE1 modules was identified, with the highest homology (62.9%) with a bifunctional endoxylanase/feruloyl esterase among characterized enzymes. Interestingly, Bi76 hydrolyzed glucan substrates besides xylans and feruloylated substrates, suggesting that it is the first characterized trifunctional endoxylanase/endoglucanase/feruloyl esterase. Analyses of truncation variants revealed that GH10 and E_set_Esterase_N + CE1 modules encoded endoxylanase/endoglucanase and feruloyl esterase activities, respectively. Synergism analyses indicated that endoxylanase, α-l-arabinofuranosidase, and feruloyl esterase acted cooperatively in releasing ferulic acid (FA) and xylooligosaccharides from feruloylated arabinoxylan. The interdomain synergism of Bi76 overmatched the intermolecular synergism of TM1 and TM2. Importantly, Bi76 exhibited good capacity in producing FA, releasing 5.20, 4.38, 2.12, 1.35, 0.46, and 0.19 mg/g from corn bran, corn cob, wheat bran, corn stover, rice husk, and rice bran, respectively. This study expands the trifunctional endoxylanase/endoglucanase/feruloyl esterase repertoire and demonstrates the great potential of Bi76 in agricultural residue utilization.

Abstract
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis trifunctional enzyme (MtTFE) is an α2β2 tetrameric enzyme. The α -chain harbors the 2E-enoyl-CoA hydratase (ECH) and 3S-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (HAD) activities and the β -chain provides the 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (KAT) activity. Enzyme kinetic data reported here show that medium and long chain enoyl-CoA molecules are preferred substrates for MtTFE. Modelling studies indicate how the linear medium and long chain acyl chains of these substrates can bind to each of the active sites. In addition, crystallographic binding studies have identified three new CoA binding sites which are different from the previously known CoA binding sites of the three TFE active sites. Structure comparisons provide new insights into the properties of ECH, HAD and KAT active sites of MtTFE. The interactions of the adenine moiety of CoA with loop-2 of the ECH active site cause a conformational change of this loop by which a competent ECH active site is formed. The NAD+ binding domain (domain C) of the HAD part of MtTFE has only a few interactions with the rest of the complex and adopts a range of open conformations, whereas the A-domain of the ECH part is rigidly fixed with respect to the HAD part. Two loops, the CB1-CA1 region and the catalytic CB4-CB5 loop, near the thiolase active site and the thiolase dimer interface, have high B-factors. Structure comparisons suggest that a competent and stable thiolase dimer is formed only when complexed with the α -chains, highlighting the importance of the assembly for the proper functioning of the complex.
