Fig. 3.
Conservation of β-oxidation module for non-fatty acid compounds. In addition to fatty acids, the β-oxidation module was found conserved for the transformation of 8 compounds represented in the figure. For the first step, we found 4 reaction variants encoded in different RMS of height 1: three RMS correspond to a dehydrogenation between the alpha and beta carbons but with different acceptors, another corresponds to a coenzyme A ligation. A color code indicates the corresponding substrates. Only molecules marked with an asterisk were also detected by Muto et al. (KEGG Reaction Module RM018)
