An open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of significant homology (55.7% identity) with the enoyl-CoA hydratase encoded by the gene echA1 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been found in the genome of the plant-pathogen bacteria Rhodococcus fascians strain NRRL-B-15096. Sequence alignments showed that it possesses several conserved blocks common to E.

Limonoate dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus fascians has been purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by a procedure that consists of ion-exchange, hydrophobic, and affinity chromatography. The native enzyme has a molecular mass of around 128,000 Da and appears to be composed of four similar subunits (30,000 Da each). The isoelectric point is 4.
