A requirement for lipids by the microsomal stearyl coenzyme A desaturase.

چکیده
Hen liver microsomes, when extracted with aqueous acetone, lose their ability to desaturate stearyl coenzyme A to oleate. The desaturase activity of these particles is partially restored by addition of lipid micelles prepared from microsomal lipid. Fractionation of the microsomal lipid yields fractions which are tested for their ability to restore the desaturase activity. A mixture of phospholipids, triglycerides, and fatty acids is able to restore the desaturase activity of the acetone-extracted microsomes to the level of the original microsomes. Phosphatidylcholine, isolated from the phospholipid, can partially replace phospholipids in this mixture. The properties of the reconstituted system are similar to those of the original microsomes. There is an absolute requirement for oxygen and a reduced pyridine nucleotide, although DPNH, rather than TPNH, is the preferred electron donor. The similarities between the lipid requirements of the DPNH-cytochrome c reductase and the stearyl-CoA desaturase support the suggestion that the two systems share a common electron transfer pathway or carrier.

Purification and properties of rat liver microsomal stearyl coenzyme A desaturase.
The terminal enzyme of the NADH-dependent stearyl coenzyme A desaturase system has been isolated from rat liver microsomes. This desaturase is a single polypeptide of 53,000 daltons containing 62% nonpolar amino-acid residues and one atom of non-heme iron. The purified protein forms high molecular weight aggregates that can be dispersed by detergent procedures. Desaturase activity requires NADH...
متن کاملThe binding of cytochrome b 5 to liver microsomes.
The 40-44 hydrophobic peptide segment, present in cytochrome bS obtained by nonhydrolytic means, but absent from lipase or trypsin-extracted cytochrome bg, has been found to be required for the binding of a loto 20-fold molar excess of cytochrome bs to liver microsomes. At saturation, the bound cytochrome bs constitutes nearly 20% of the total protein of the vesicle preparations. This extra bou...

Microsomes from the mucosa of hamster small intestine contain an enzyme system capable of catalyzing the desaturation of [3H]alkylacylglycerophosphorylethanolamine to form [3H]alk-l-enylacylglycerophosphorylethanolamine (ethanolamine plasmalogen). The enzyme is specific for 1-O-alkyl2-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylethanolamine; it does not act on the enantiomeric 3-O-alkyl-2-acyl-sn-glycero-l-pho...
