A guanosine triphosphate-dependent acyl coenzyme A synthetase from rat liver mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A guanosine triphosphate-specific acyl coenzyme A synthetase has been purified from extracts of sonically disrupted rat liver mitochondria. This enzyme, which is free of adenosine triphosphate-dependent activating systems and from succinyl-CoA synthetase activity, catalyzes the formation of CoA esters of both long and short chain fatty acids. GTPspecific fatty acid activation is inhibited by orthophosphate and fluoride.

Oxidation of long chain fatty acids by rat liver mitochondria.
Long chain fatty acids are oxidized by rat liver mitochondria provided that endogenous adenosine triphosphate is not depleted. If endogenous ATP is depleted, e.g. by Z,&dinitrophenol, external ATP as well as carnitine is required for fatty acid oxidation. Atractyloside does not block this reaction in media containing orthophosphate buffer. Oligomycin can substitute for carnitine, but the oligom...
متن کاملSpectrophotometric studies of acyl-coenzyme A synthetases of rat liver mitochondria.
1. Deca-2,4,6,8-tetraenoic acid is a substrate for both ATP-specific (EC 6.2.1.2 or 3) and GTP-specific (EC 6.2.1.-) acyl-CoA synthetases of rat liver mitochondria. The enzymic synthesis of decatetraenoyl-CoA results in new spectral characteristics. The difference spectrum for the acyl-CoA minus free acid has a maximum at 376nm with epsilon(mM) 34. Isosbestic points are at 345nm and 440nm. 2. T...
متن کاملInhibition by propionyl-coenzyme A of N-acetylglutamate synthetase in rat liver mitochondria. A possible explanation for hyperammonemia in propionic and methylmalonic acidemia.
In the search for the mechanism by which hyperammonemia complicates propionic and methylmalonic acidemia the effects of a series of acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) derivatives were studied on the activity of N-acetylglutamate synthetase in rat liver mitochondria using acetyl-CoA as substrate. Propionyl-CoA was found to be a competitive inhibitor. The inhibition constant of 0.71 mM is in the range of conc...
متن کاملActivation of Fatty Acids by a Guanosine Triphosphate-specific Thiokinase from Liver Mitochondria.
In the initial studies of Lehninger (1) on the oxidation of octanoate by rat liver mitochondria, it was noted that oc-ketoglutarate possessed a unique property in regard to its role as a co-oxidant. Whereas all other intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle t,est,ed for sparking activity required the simultaneous addition of adenosine monophosphate, a-ketoglutarate functioned efficiently b...
متن کامل[The relationship between palmitoyl-coenzyme A synthetase activity and esterification of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate in rat liver mitochondria].
1. The specific activities for palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and for sn-glycerol 3-phosphate esterification, with palmitoyl-CoA generated either by the endogenous synthetase or from palmitoyl-(-)-carnitine, CoA and excess of carnitine palmitoyltransferase, were measured with rat liver mitochondria. 2. The mean specific activity of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase was approximately five- and seven-fold the r...
