Acetate Kinase Isozymes Confer Robustness in Acetate Metabolism
Acetate kinase (ACK) (EC no: 2.7.2.1) interconverts acetyl-phosphate and acetate to either catabolize or synthesize acetyl-CoA dependent on the metabolic requirement. Among all ACK entries available in UniProt, we found that around 45% are multiple ACKs in some organisms including more than 300 species but surprisingly, little work has been done to clarify whether this has any significance. In ...
متن کاملAcetate metabolism in cancer cells
Macromolecule biosynthesis is required to duplicate cell components and support proliferation. Studies examining the nutrients used by cancer cells have focused on the contribution of glucose and glutamine carbon for biosynthesis, but the importance of other metabolic fuels is becoming apparent. Labeling of two-carbon units in newly synthesized lipids has been used to infer the nutrients that c...
متن کاملAcetate Metabolism in the Ruminant.
Biochemists have long recognized the central role of acetate in the energy metabolism of most forms of life. But whereas for most organisms the supply of acetate, or rather its active form, acetyl coenzyme A, is almost entirely endogenous, ruminant animals have a large exogenous supply of acetate, which is produced in the rumen by microbial fermentation of ingested foodstuffs. In the ruminant, ...
متن کاملAcetate metabolism in lactating sheep.
1. The metabolism of acetate, glucose and D(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate was studied in lactating and non-lactating sheep in vivo. Special consideration was given to the utilization by hind-limb muscle in both groups of sheep and the uptake of nutrients by the lactating mammary gland was also measured. 2. The entry of acetate into the circulation (mmol/h per kg body-weight) was similar in all experimen...
متن کاملPhosphorylated Acetate Kinase
Acetate kinase (ATP: acetate phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.2.1) can be phosphorylated with ATP or with acetyl phosphate. The degree of phosphorylation increases with the relative concentration of phosphorylating agent. The isolated phosphoenzyme reacts quantitatively with ADP to form ATP, and with acetate to form acetyl phosphate in 70 to 80 % yield. The pH stability profile of the phosphoenzyme a...
