Pyruvate carboxylation in the rat heart. Role of biotin-dependent enzymes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pyruvate carboxylation in the isolated perfused rat heart was studied under steady-state conditions. A biotin deficiency resulting in a 90% decrease in myocardial pyruvate carboxylase left the pyruvate carboxylation rate unchanged. Pyruvate carboxylation in heart muscle must therefore take place by means of an enzyme which does not contain biotin. The kinetic properties and mass-action ratio of the NADP-linked malic enzyme in heart muscle can be taken as circumstantial evidence in favour of the role of malic enzyme in pyruvate carboxylation in myocardium.

Structural Relationship of Biotin-Containing Enzymes
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase from yeast was isolated in homogeneous form and compared in its properties with pyruvate carboxylase from yeast. Both enzymes have very similar sedimentation coefficients and molecular weights. Both enzymes are composed of four protomers. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate carboxylase split under identical conditions into a variety of aggregates; besides the protomer, di...
متن کاملAcetyl coenzyme A carboxylase. IV. Biotinyl prosthetic group-independent malonyl coenzyme A decarboxylation and carbosyl transfer: generalization to other biotin enzymes.
Liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase, a biotin-enzyme which catalyzes the ATP-dependent carboxylation of acetyl-CoA (acceptor) to form malonyl-CoA (carboxylated acceptor), decarboxylates malonyl-CoA by a biotin-dependent, as well as a biotin-independent mechanism. Neither ADP, Pi, nor divalent metal ion are required for either of these abortive decarboxylations. The biotin-dependent reaction is blocked...

متن کاملThe assessment of biotin status in man and animals.
The metabolic role of biotin in animals is as a prosthetic group in enzymes involved in carboxylation reactions. There are three enzymes of principal importance. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC; EC 6.4.1. I ) catalyses the conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate within the mitochondrion. Oxaloacetate is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of phosphoenol pyruvate and, ultimately, glucose. Thus, PC plays...
متن کاملPyruvate carboxylation as an anaplerotic mechanism in the isolated perfused rat heart.
1. The role of pyruvate carboxylation in the net synthesis of tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates during acetate metabolism was studied in isolated rat hearts perfused with [1-14C]pyruvate. 2. The incorporation of the 14C label from [1-14C]pyruvate into the tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates points to a carbon input from pyruvate via enzymes in addition to pyruvate dehydrogenase and citr...
