The Citrate Cleavage Enzyme

This enzyme is widely distributed in animal tissues and has been partially purified from pigeon liver (1) and e.xtensively purified from chicken liver (2). Because of the complexity of the overall reaction, we attempted at first to fractionate the activity into more than one protein fraction. The results of these earlier studies led to the conclusion that one protein component or tightly bound ...

Citrate cleavage enzyme and fatty acid synthesis.

A series of experiments was performed to test the proposal of others that citrate cleavage enzyme (EC 4.1.3.8) regulates the rate of fatty acid synthesis in rat liver. The results show that, in recovery from fasting, fatty acid synthesis increased markedly without change in citrate cleavage enzyme activity. After the administration of alloxan, fatty acid synthesis decreased prior to any change ...

Citrate-cleavage enzyme, 'malic' enzyme and certain dehydrogenases in embryonic and growing chicks.

The activities of several enzymes possibly implicated in lipogenesis were measured in the soluble fraction of homogenates of liver and adipose tissue of embryonic and growing chicks. The activities of adipose-tissue enzymes showed little or no change. The activities of hepatic hexose monophosphate-shunt dehydrogenases, malate dehydrogenase, 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde dehydrogenase and NAD-linked a...
