Revised nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase gene family.
By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases. ACS is the family root name, and the human and mouse genes for the long-chain ACSs are termed ACSL1,3-6 and Acsl1,3-6, respectively. Splice variants of ACSL3, -4, -5, and -6 are cataloged. Su...
متن کاملA revised nomenclature for mammalian acyl-CoA thioesterases/hydrolases.
Acyl-CoA thioesterases, also known as acyl-CoA hydrolases, are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze CoA esters such as acyl-CoAs (saturated, unsaturated, branched-chain), bile acid-CoAs, CoA esters of prostaglandins, etc., to the corresponding free acid and CoA. However, there is significant confusion regarding the nomenclature of these genes. In agreement with the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee...
متن کاملStructure and regulation of rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
Complementary DNAs encoding rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase have been isolated. The cDNAs were identified using synthetic oligonucleotide probes based on partial amino acid sequences of lysyl endopeptidase peptides of the purified enzyme. Rat long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase is predicted to contain 699 amino acid residues and to have a calculated molecular weight of 78,177. Significant sequenc...
متن کاملAssignment of the acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) gene to porcine chromosome X.
Source/description: Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (ACSL4) is an essential enzyme in fatty acid metabolism. It converts free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acylCoA esters, which are key intermediates in the synthesis of complex lipids. ACSL4 catalyses the formation of these fatty acyl-CoAs by a two-step process that starts with the addition of an AMP at the carboxyl group of ...
متن کاملThe malonyl-CoA-long-chain acyl-CoA axis in the maintenance of mammalian cell function.
Long-chain acyl-CoA esters have potent specific actions (e.g. on gene transcription, membrane trafficking) as well as non-specific ones (e.g. on phospholipid bilayers). They are synthesized on the cytosolic aspects of several intracellular membranes, to give rise to (a) cytosolic pool(s) to which a variety of enzymes and processes have access, including some localized in the nucleus. Their conc...
