چکیده
The effect of detergents on the activity of palmityl coenzyme A: carnitine 0-palmityltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) has been investigated. A series of detergents (n-palmitylcarnitine, palmitylcholine, caprinylcholine, free fatty acids, deoxycholate, digitonin, Tween 20, Tween 80, and Triton X-100) have been found to stimulate the incorporation of L-carnitine-CH@H into L-palmitylcarnitine in the presence of CoA. The effects of n-palmitylcarnitine and Tween 80 were investigated further by studying their effects on the reaction

The mechanism of substrate inhibition of palmityl coenzyme A:carnitine palmityltransferase by palmityl coenzyme A.
The substrate inhibition of palmityl coenzyme A:carnitine 0-palmityltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) by palmityl-CoA has been studied. Beside being a substrate for the enzyme, palmityl-CoA was found to behave as a competitive inhibitor for the second substrate (carnitine). The Ki was found to be approximately 3 X 10-e M, while the K, for palmityl-CoA was found to be approximately 10M5 M. Thus, the affi...
متن کاملAdaptation of muscle to exercise. Increase in levels of palmityl Coa synthetase, carnitine palmityltransferase, and palmityl Coa dehydrogenase, and in the capacity to oxidize fatty acids.
The capacity of gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles to oxidize palmitate, oleate, linoleate, palmityl CoA, and palmityl carnitine doubled in rats subjected to a program of treadmill running. The rate of palmitate oxdation by whole homogenates of, or the mitochondrial fraction from, leg muscles was twice as great per gram wet weight of muscle in the trained as in the sedentary animals over a wi...
متن کاملThe localization of acyl coenzyme A-carnitine acyltransferases in rat liver cells.
The distribution of acetyl coenzyme A-carnitine acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.7) and of palmityl-CoA-carnitine palmityltransferase (EC 2.3.1) in subcellular fractions of rat liver has been studied. The distribution of carnitine pahnityltransferase in the different fractions obtained with differential centrifugation and with centrifugation in a steep sucrose gradient correlated closely with the di...
متن کاملStudies on acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase of yeast: inhibition by long-chain acyl-coenzyme A esters.
Long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) compounds (palmityl, stearyl, and oleyl) were found to be potent inhibitors of acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain LK2G12 from aerobic, but not from nonaerobic, cells. The effectiveness of the inhibitors of the aerobic enzyme was in the following order: palmityl-CoA < stearyl-CoA < oleyl-CoA. Short-chain acyl-CoA compounds (propionyl, ...
متن کاملII. Palmitic and stearic synthesis by an avocado supernatant system
The synthesis of palmitic and stearic acids by soluble proteins from avocado mesocarp has been examined. Evidence suggests that palmitate is made de novo and stearate by elongation of a C16 precursor. While the synthesis of palmitate from malonyl CoA is arsenite insensitive, the elongation reaction from palmitate to stearate is arsenite sensitive. The pattern of synthesis of the two acids is ne...
