Molecular weight and subunit size of fatty acid synthetase from rabbit mammary gland.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fatty acid synthetase purified from the mammary gland of the rabbit has a mol. wt. of 968000 as determined by gel filtration. The enzyme gave one band, corresponding to a mol.wt. of approx. 35000, on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate and phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride.

Medium-chain fatty acid synthesis.
Most plant and mammalian tissue lipids contain fatty acids with a carbon chain longer than 14 atoms. However, milk lipids from several species like ruminants and rodents (Jenness, 1974), seed lipids from certain plants like coconuts (Child, 1974) and Cuphea (Graham & Kleiman, 1985) and lipids from several insects (AddaeMensah & Cameron, 1978) and from some bird glands (Downing, 1976; Jacob, 197...
متن کاملFatty Acid Synthetase from Lactating Rat Mammary Gland
Fatty acid synthetase has been purified from lactating rat mammary gland and some of its physical and kinetic properties studied. This synthetase is an asymmetrical multienzyme complex of molecular weight 478,000 which readily dissociates into approximately half-molecular weight subunits. The sedimentation and diffusion coefficients of the native enzyme are 12.9 set X lo-l3 and 2.56 cm2 se@ X l...

1. The activities of fatty acid synthetase, acyl-CoA synthetase, glycerol phosphate acyltransferase and phosphatidate phosphatase were measured in the mammary glands of rabbits from day 16 of pregnancy to day 15 of post partum. 2. There were significant correlations between the increases in activities of these enzymes during this period. This was the case whether the activities were expressed p...
متن کاملGoose fatty acid synthetase mRNA.
The fatty acid synthetase of animal tissues consists of two identical subunits (Mr = 250,000), each of which is a multienzyme protein containing domains for the acyl carrier peptide and the seven different catalytic activities required for the conversion of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to palmitate. Total poly(A+) RNA was isolated from goose uropygial gland and translated in a cell-free rabbit re...
