1. cis-4-Decenoyl-CoA, an intermediate of linoleic acid catabolism, is degraded by a soluble enzyme fraction of beef liver mitochondria to octanoyl-CoA. cis-2-Octanoly-CoA is not observed among the intermediates of this degradation sequence. 2. The existence of a mitochondrial 4-enoyl-CoA reductase which is distinct from the 2-enoyl-CoA reductase is demonstrated in beef liver. 3. Substrates for the 4-enoyl-CoA reductase are acyl-CoA esters, which possess a 2,4-diene structure rather than those containing an isolated double bond in position 4. 4. The 4-enoyl-CoA reductase is involved in the catabolism of cis-4-decenoyl-CoA. 5. A reaction sequence for the degradation of cis-4-decenoyl-CoA to octanoyl-CoA is proposed which combines the 4-enoyl-CoA reductase with the 'classical' beta-oxidation enzymes.

1. Dye-ligand chromatography using immobilized Cibacron blue F3GA (blue Sepharose CL-6B) and Procion red HE3B (Matrex gel red A) as matrices and general ligand chromatography employing immobilized 2',5'-ADP (2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B) and immobilized 3',5'-ADP (3',5'-ADP-Agarose) were employed for purification of NADPH-dependent 2-enoyl-CoA reductase and 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase from bovine liver (formerly called 4-enoyl-CoA reductase [Kunau, W. H. and Dommes, P. (1978) Eur. J. Biochem. 91, 533-544], as well as 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase from Escherichia coli. 2. The NADPH-dependent 2-enoyl-CoA reductase from bovine liver mitochondria was separated from 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase by dye-ligand chromatography (Matrex gel red A/KCl gradient) as well as by general ligand affinity chromatography (2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B/NADP gradient). The enzyme was obtained in a highly purified form. 3. The NADPH-dependent 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase from bovine liver mitochondria was purified to homogeneity using blue Sepharose CL-6B, Matrex gel red A, and 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B chromatography. 4. The bacterial 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase was completely purified by ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose followed by a single affinity chromatography step employing 2',5'-ADP-Sepharose 4B and biospecific elution from the column with a substrate, trans,trans-2,4-decadienoyl-CoA. 5. The application of dye-ligand and general ligand affinity chromatography for purification of NADPH-dependent 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductases taking part in the beta-oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids is discussed. It is concluded that making use of coenzyme specificity for binding and substrate specificity for elution is essential for obtaining homogeneous enzyme preparations.
