Catalytic properties of MGAT3, a putative triacylgycerol synthase.
Acyl-coenzyme A:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 3 (MGAT3) is a member of the MGAT family of enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of diacylglycerol (DAG) from monoacylglycerol (MAG), a committed step in dietary fat absorption. Although named after the initial identification of its MGAT activity, MGAT3 shares higher sequence homology with acyl-coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) t...
متن کاملCatalytic mechanism of Kdo8P synthase: transient kinetic studies and evaluation of a putative reaction intermediate.
The mechanistic pathway for the reaction catalyzed by Kdo8P synthase has been investigated, and the cyclic bisphosphate 2 has been examined as a putative reaction intermediate. Two parallel approaches were used: (1) chemical synthesis of 2 and evaluation as an alternate substrate for the enzyme and (2) transient kinetic studies using rapid chemical quench methodology to provide direct observati...
متن کاملInfluence of heme-thiolate in shaping the catalytic properties of a bacterial nitric-oxide synthase.
Nitric-oxide synthases (NOS) are heme-thiolate enzymes that generate nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. Mammalian and bacterial NOSs contain a conserved tryptophan (Trp) that hydrogen bonds with the heme-thiolate ligand. We mutated Trp(66) to His and Phe (W66H, W66F) in B. subtilis NOS to investigate how heme-thiolate electronic properties control enzyme catalysis. The mutations had opposite ef...
متن کاملMolecular and catalytic properties of mitochondrial (ketogenic) 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A synthase of liver.
Mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase has been purified to homogeneity from avian liver. The enzyme in dilute phosphate buffer, pH 7.0, has an S20,w of 5.7 S and a molecular weight of 105,000 determined by sedimentation equilibrium; the presence of 0.1 M KCl causes dissociation to a form one-half that size, i.e. about 57,000 daltons. Since the subunit molecular weight of the syn...
متن کامل3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase from ox liver. Purification, molecular and catalytic properties.
Mitochondrial 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase (EC 4.1.3.5) was purified to homogeneity from ox liver and obtained essentially free from acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase activity. The purification procedure included substrate elution from cellulose phosphate and chromatofocusing. The relative molecular mas was about 100 000 and S20,w0 was 6.36S. The enzyme appears to be a dimer of identical subu...
