Control of triglyceride synthesis by the intracellular level of long-chain acyl coenzyme A for lipid synthesis.
نویسنده
چکیده
Candida lipolytica mutants defective in acyl coenzyme A synthetase I synthesized triglyceride to a markedly less extent than did the wild-type yeast, when grown on oleic acid. The synthesis of triglyceride was controlled by the level of long-chain acyl coenzyme A available for lipid synthesis, whereas the synthesis of phospholipids was hardly affected.

Triglyceride Synthesis by the Intracellular Level of Long-Chain Acyl Coenzyme A for Lipid Synthesis
Triglyceride and phospholipids are the main constituents of glycerolipids in eucaryotic cells. They are synthesized via a common precursor, phosphatidic acid, although their physiological roles are entirely different. Despite the biological importance of these two lipid classes, little is known about the control mechanism involved in their synthesis. We have shown previously that there are two ...
متن کاملThe control of fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis in rat epididymal adipose tissue. Roles of coenzyme A derivatives, citrate and L-glycerol 3-phosphate.
1. Methods are described for the extraction and assay of acetyl-CoA and of total acid-soluble and total acid-insoluble CoA derivatives in rat epididymal adipose tissue. 2. The concentration ranges of the CoA derivatives in fat pads incubated in vitro under various conditions were: total acid-soluble CoA, 0.20-0.59mm; total acid-insoluble CoA, 0.08-0.23mm; acetyl-CoA, 0.03-0.14mm. 3. An investig...
متن کاملControl of fatty acid metabolism in ischemic and hypoxic hearts.
The effects of whole heart ischemia on fatty acid metabolism were studied in the isolated, perfused rat heart. A reduction in coronary flow and oxygen consumption resulted in lower rates of palmitate uptake and oxidation to CO2. This decrease in metabolic rate was associated with increased tissue levels of long chain acyl coenzyme A and long chain acylcarnitine. Cellular levels of acetyl-CoA, a...
متن کاملFatty acid binding protein. Role in esterification of absorbed long chain fatty acid in rat intestine.
Fatty acid binding protein (FABP) is a protein of 12,000 mol wt found in cytosol of intestinal mucosa and other tissues, which exhibits high affinity for long chain fatty acids. It has been suggested that FABP (which may comprise a group of closely related proteins of 12,000 mol wt) participates in cellular fatty acid transport and metabolism. Although earlier findings were consistent with this...
متن کاملAcyl specificity in triglyceride synthesis by lactating rat mammary gland.
We have studied the specificity of the acyl-CoA:diglyceride acyltransferase reaction in lactating rat mammary gland to provide a rational explanation at the enzyme level for the nonrandom distribution of fatty acids in milk fat triglycerides. Acyl-CoA:diglyceride acyltransferase activity was measured using various diglyceride and radioactive acyl-CoA substrates; products were identified as trig...
