Substrate specificity of acetyl coenzyme A synthetase.
Acetyl coenzyme A synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1) has been examined for its ability to accept various carboxylic acids as substrates in place of acetic acid. The activity of the enzyme with these substrates was monitored using a coupled enzyme assay and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Short chain carboxylic acids were found to be active including: propionic, acrylic, fluoroacetic, ...
متن کاملRegulation of Acetyl-Coenzyme A Carboxylase and Acetyl-Coenzyme A Synthetase in Spinach Chloroplasts
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase, Acetyl-CoA Synthetase, Light Dependence o f Fatty Acid Synthesis in Chloroplasts In analogy to chloroplast fatty acid synthesis from acetate the key enzymes o f acetate fixation, acetyl-CoA synthetase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase, in rapidly Triton X-100 lysed spinach chloroplasts show an activation by light and deactivation in the dark. The stimulation o f acetyl-CoA carb...
متن کاملCellular localization of acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase in yeast.
In cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae grown with glucose in standing cultures, the microsomal fraction had the highest specific activity for acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase and contained the greatest fraction of the total activity regardless of when the cells were harvested during growth. The addition of acetate did not affect the distribution of the enzyme, nor did subsequent aeration of such cell...
متن کاملThe role of acetyl-coenzyme a synthetase in Arabidopsis.
The acs1 knockout mutant that has a disruption in the plastidic acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase (ACS; At5g36880) gene was used to explore the role of this protein and plastidic acetate metabolism in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). Disruption of the ACS gene decreased ACS activity by 90% and largely blocked the incorporation of exogenous (14)C-acetate and (14)C-ethanol into fatty acids. W...
متن کاملRegulation of acetyl coenzyme A synthetase in Escherichia coli.
Cells of Escherichia coli growing on sugars that result in catabolite repression or amino acids that feed into glycolysis undergo a metabolic switch associated with the production and utilization of acetate. As they divide exponentially, these cells excrete acetate via the phosphotransacetylase-acetate kinase pathway. As they begin the transition to stationary phase, they instead resorb acetate...
