The relationship between plasma biotin concentration and circulating leucocyte beta-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and propionyl-CoA carboxylase.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. A newly developed biotin assay was used to monitor plasma and urinary biotin concentration after the oral administration of biotin. 2. In two normal subjects, leucocyte propionyl-CoA carboxylase and beta-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase were markedly stimulated after the administration of biotin.

Differential Accumulation of Biotin Enzymes during Carrot Somatic Embryogenesis.
The activities of four biotin enzymes, acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase, 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase, pyruvate carboxylase, and propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and the accumulation of six biotin-containing polypeptides were determined during development of somatic embryos of carrot (Daucus carota). Acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity increased more than sevenfold, whereas the activities of 3-met...
متن کاملEffects of biotin on pyruvate carboxylase, acetyl-CoA carboxylase, propionyl-CoA carboxylase, and markers for glucose and lipid homeostasis in type 2 diabetic patients and nondiabetic subjects.
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that biotin affects glucose homeostasis. Serum biotin concentrations are lower in subjects with type 2 diabetes than in control subjects. Lymphocyte propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC; EC 6.4.1.3) activity has proved to be a sensitive indicator of biotin status that is more accurate than is serum biotin concentration. OBJECTIVE We studied the activity of PCC,...
متن کاملPlant biotin-containing carboxylases.
Biotin-containing proteins are found in all forms of life, and they catalyze carboxylation, decarboxylation, or transcarboxylation reactions that are central to metabolism. In plants, five biotin-containing proteins have been characterized. Of these, four are catalysts, namely the two structurally distinct acetyl-CoA carboxylases (heteromeric and homomeric), 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase and...
متن کاملStructure and substrate selectivity of the 750-kDa α6β6 holoenzyme of geranyl-CoA carboxylase.
Geranyl-CoA carboxylase (GCC) is essential for the growth of Pseudomonas organisms with geranic acid as the sole carbon source. GCC has the same domain organization and shares strong sequence conservation with the related biotin-dependent carboxylases 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) and propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). Here we report the crystal structure of the 750-kDa α6β6 holoenzyme o...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of a Rhizobium etli monovalent cation-stimulated acyl-coenzyme A carboxylase with a high substrate specificity constant for propionyl-coenzyme A.
Biotin has a profound effect on the metabolism of rhizobia. It is reported here that the activities of the biotin-dependent enzymes acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC; EC 6.4.1.2) and propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (PCC; EC 6.4.1.3) are present in all species of the five genera comprising the Rhizobiaceae which were examined. Evidence is presented that the ACC and PCC activities detectable in...
