Peroxisomal beta-oxidation proceeds from enoyl-CoA through D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA to 3-ketoacyl-CoA by the D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase/D-3-hydroxy-acyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional protein (d-bifunctional protein), and the oxidation of bile-acid precursors also has been suggested as being catalyzed by the d-bifunctional protein. Because of the important roles of this protein, we reinvestigated two Japanese patients previously diagnosed as having enoyl-CoA hydratase/L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase bifunctional protein (L-bifunctional protein) deficiency, in complementation studies. We found that both the protein and the enzyme activity of the d-bifunctional protein were hardly detectable in these patients but that the active L-bifunctional protein was present. The mRNA level in patient 1 was very low, and, for patient 2, mRNA was of a smaller size. Sequencing analysis of the cDNA revealed a 52-bp deletion in patient 1 and a 237-bp deletion in patient 2. This seems to be the first report of D-bifunctional protein deficiency. Patients previously diagnosed as cases of L-bifunctional protein deficiency probably should be reexamined for a possible d-bifunctional protein deficiency.
