Direct effect of an acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase inhibitor, F-1394, on atherosclerosis in apolipoprotein E and low density lipoprotein receptor double knockout mice.
The acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) enzyme is thought to be responsible for foam cell formation and the subsequent progression of atherosclerosis. The apolipoprotein E and low density lipoprotein receptor double knockout (apoE/LDLr-DKO) mouse is an animal model that develops severe hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis. Here we have examined the effect of oral administration of an ACA...
متن کاملVersatility of acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetases.
The acyl carrier protein (ACP) requires posttranslational modification with a 4'-phosphopantetheine arm for activity, and this thiol-terminated modification carries cargo between enzymes in ACP-dependent metabolic pathways. We show that acyl-ACP synthetases (AasSs) from different organisms are able to load even, odd, and unnatural fatty acids onto E. coli ACP in vitro. Vibrio harveyi AasS not o...
متن کاملAcyl-CoA dehydrogenases and acyl-CoA oxidases
Acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and acyl-CoA oxidases are two closely related FAD-containing enzyme families that are present inmitochondria andperoxisomes, respectively. They catalyze the dehydrogenation of acyl-CoA thioesters to the corresponding trans-2-enoyl-CoA. This review examines the structure of medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, as a representative of the dehydrogenase family, with respect ...
متن کاملEpi-cochlioquinone A, a novel acyl-CoA : cholesterol acyltransferase inhibitor produced by Stachybotrys bisbyi.
A novel acyl-CoA : cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) inhibitor, designated epi-cochlioquinone A has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Stachybotrys bisbyi SANK 17777. The molecular formula, physicochemical properties, NMR spectroscopic analysis and X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that this compound was a stereoisomer of cochlioquinone A, which has been previously reported as...
متن کاملAcyl carrier protein. XVII. Purification and properties of -hydroxyacyl acyl carrier protein dehydrase.
/3-Hydroxyacyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) dehydrase has been purified 2900-fold from extracts of Escherichia coli. The enzyme catalyzes the reversible dehydration of /3-hydroxyacyl-ACP thioesters to yield specifically tram-2-enoylACP products. It is active with frans-2-enoyl-ACP thioesters of chain lengths from 4 through 16 carbon atoms. The enzyme catalyzes the hydration of cis-5frans-2-dodeca...
