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 کاملSubstrate specificity of fatty acid synthetase from yeast.
The purified multienzyme complex fatty acid synthetase from yeast synthesizes palmitoyland stearoyl-CoA with NADPH, ace@-CoA and malonylCoA as substrates. At least seven different enzymatic steps have been shown to occur in the overall synthesis by the use of appropriate model substrates [l] , .e.g. S-acetoacetyl-N-acetylcysteamine for the @-ketoreductase partial activity. As reported in this c...
متن کاملSelectivity and specificity of substrate binding in methionyl-tRNA synthetase.
The accuracy of in vivo incorporation of amino acids during protein biosynthesis is controlled to a significant extent by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS). This paper describes the application of the HierDock computational method to study the molecular basis of amino acid binding to the Escherichia coli methionyl tRNA synthetase (MetRS). Starting with the protein structure from the MetRS cocry...
متن کاملA single amino acid substitution affects the substrate specificity of the seryl-tRNA synthetase homologue.
Recently described and characterized Bradyrhizobium japonicum glycine:[carrier protein] ligase 1 (Bj Gly:CP ligase 1), a homologue of methanogenic type seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) is an intriguing enzyme whose physiological role is not yet known. While aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases supply ribosome with amino acids for protein biosynthesis, this homologue transfers the activated amino acid to a s...
متن کاملModulation of substrate specificity within the amino acid editing site of leucyl-tRNA synthetase.
The aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases covalently link transfer RNAs to their cognate amino acids. Some of the tRNA synthetases have evolved editing mechanisms to ensure fidelity in this first step of protein synthesis. The amino acid editing site for leucyl- (LeuRS) and isoleucyl- (IleRS) tRNA synthetases reside within homologous CP1 domains. In each case, a threonine-rich peptide and a second conserv...
