Structure 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 کاملCloning and characterization of a hormonally regulated rat long chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
A previously unidentified gonadotropin-regulated long chain acyl-CoA synthetase (GR-LACS) was cloned and characterized as a 79-kDa cytoplasmic protein expressed in Leydig cells of the rat testis. GR-LACS shares sequence identity with two conserved regions of the LACS and luciferase families, including the ATP/AMP binding domain and the 25-aa fatty acyl-CoA synthetase signature motif, but displa...
متن کاملReversible inactivation by noradrenaline of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetase in rat adipocytes.
Incubation of rat adipocytes with the same range of noradrenaline concentrations that stimulate lipolysis caused a rapid and stable decrease in the activity of fatty acyl-CoA synthetase. Corticotropin, glucagon and dibutyryl cyclic AMP also decreased the activity of the enzyme. The effect of noradrenaline was apparent over a wide range of concentrations for the three substrates of the enzyme. A...
متن کاملPhytanic acid activation in rat liver peroxisomes is catalyzed by long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
In Refsum disease, disorders of peroxisome biogenesis, and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, pathological accumulation of phytanic acid results from impaired alpha-oxidation of this branched-chain fatty acid. Previous studies from this laboratory indicated that activation of phytanic acid to its CoA derivative precedes its alpha-oxidation in peroxisomes. It was reported that this reaction i...
متن کاملOverexpression of rat long chain acyl-coa synthetase 1 alters fatty acid metabolism in rat primary hepatocytes.
Long chain acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) activate fatty acids (FA) and provide substrates for both anabolic and catabolic pathways. We have hypothesized that each of the five ACSL isoforms partitions FA toward specific downstream pathways. Acsl1 mRNA is increased in cells under both lipogenic and oxidative conditions. To elucidate the role of ACSL1 in hepatic lipid metabolism, we overexpressed an...
