Fatty acid structural requirements for activity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase.
We have examined the fatty acid substrate specificity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase from human platelet membranes. A variety of positional isomers and chain-length analogs of arachidonic acid [20:4(5, 8, 11, 14)] were synthesized, and assayed for their ability to inhibit arachidonoyl-CoA formation or to serve as substrates for the synthetase. The chain-length specificity of the synthetase for ...
متن کاملElucidating the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fatty Acid Degradation Pathway: Identification of Additional Fatty Acyl-CoA Synthetase Homologues
The fatty acid (FA) degradation pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, was recently shown to be involved in nutrient acquisition during BALB/c mouse lung infection model. The source of FA in the lung is believed to be phosphatidylcholine, the major component of lung surfactant. Previous research indicated that P. aeruginosa has more than two fatty acyl-CoA synthetase gene...
متن کاملPurification, characterization, DNA sequence and cloning of a pimeloyl-CoA synthetase from Pseudomonas mendocina 35.
A pimeloyl-CoA synthetase from Pseudomonas mendocina 35 was purified and characterized, the DNA sequence determined, and the gene cloned into Escherichia coli to yield an active enzyme. The purified enzyme had a pH optimum of approximately 8.0, Km values of 0.49 mM for pimelic acid, 0.18 mM for CoA and 0.72 mM for ATP, a subunit Mr of approximately 80000 as determined by SDS/PAGE, and was found...
متن کاملTaxol biosynthesis: tyrocidine synthetase A catalyzes the production of phenylisoserinyl CoA and other amino phenylpropanoyl thioesters.
In Taxus plants the biosynthesis of the pharmaceutical paclitaxel includes the transfer of β-amino phenylpropanoyls from coenzyme A to the diterpenoid baccatin III by an acyl CoA-dependent acyltransferase. Several enzymes on the pathway are known, yet a few remain unidentified, including the putative ligase that biosynthesizes key β-amino phenylpropanoyl CoAs. The multienzyme, nonribosomal pept...
متن کاملRegulation of synthesis of hepatic fatty acid synthetase: binding of fatty acid synthetase antibodies to polysomes.
Mammalian fatty acid synthetase was shown to be composed of two peptides, molecular weight 240,000, after dissociation with sodium dodecyl sulfate. Rat liver polysomes that synthesize fatty acid synthetase were identified by sucrose gradient analysis of polysomes that had been reacted with 125I-labeled antibody against fatty acid synthetase. The binding of 125I-labeled antibody to polysomes was...
