The Enzymatic Carboxylation of Propionyl Coenzyme A

چکیده

(R)and (S)-Z-deuteriopropionyl coenzyme A of approximately 75% optical purity were prepared by a series of reactions starting from optically pure alanine. With these compounds as substrates for propionyl-CoA carboxylase, the deuterium isotope effect was found to be small and probably secondary. No tritium isotope effect was observed when enzymatically prepared 2-3H-propionyl-CoA was used as substrate. The rate of release of tritium was the same as that of the over-all reaction. Tritium from 3H~0 was not incorporated into propionyl-CoA in the absence of the reverse reaction. The data were consistent with a concerted mechanism in which an or-proton was removed simultaneously with carboxylation of propionyl-CoA. By various techniques the reaction was shown to proceed with retention of configuration about the a-carbon.

Studies on the Mechanism of Action of Acetyl Coenzyme A Carboxylase

Studies presented here, with the criterion of the degree of binding of the biotin derivatives obtained from acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase to avidin, show that these compounds have an intact ureido ring, eliminating the diamine derivative as an intermediate in the carboxylation. With the use of carboxyl-14C-biotin acetyland propionyl-CoA carboxylases, it has been possible to show both in vivo an...

Propionyl coenzyme A carboxylase is required for development of Myxococcus xanthus.

A dcm-1 mutant, obtained by transposon mutagenesis of Myxococcus xanthus, could aggregate and form mounds but was unable to sporulate under nutrient starvation. A sequence analysis of the site of insertion of the transposon showed that the insertion lies within the 3' end of a 1,572-bp open reading frame (ORF) designated the M. xanthus pccB ORF. The wild-type form of the M. xanthus pccB gene, o...

A proposed pathway for catabolism of propionate in methanogenic cocultures.

A metabolic pathway for the catabolism of propionate is proposed. This pathway incorporates a transcarboxylation reaction involving propionyl coenzyme A and oxaloacetate and a carboxylation of pyruvate to regenerate oxaloacetate. Data indicated that the proposed pathway is reversible. The proposed pathway and its apparent reversibility provide a reasonable explanation of observations obtained f...

The Absolute Configuration of Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A and Stereochemistry of the Methylmalonyl Coenzyme A Mutase Reaction*

Rropionyl coenzyme A was carboxylated with epimerasefree carboxylase, and the resulting methylmalonyl coenzyme A (a) was reduced with Raney nickel. Isolation of (-)(R)-P-hydroxyisobutyric acid N-phenylcarbamate (11) from the reaction mixture showed that methylmalonyl coenzyme A (a) has the (S) configuration. Propionyl coenzyme A was also converted to deuteriosuccinate with a DrO extract of a be...
