چکیده

Studies presented here, with the criterion of the degree of binding of the biotin derivatives obtained from acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase to avidin, show that these compounds have an intact ureido ring, eliminating the diamine derivative as an intermediate in the carboxylation. With the use of carboxyl-14C-biotin acetyland propionyl-CoA carboxylases, it has been possible to show both in vivo and in vitro that no turnover of the ureido carbon of biotin occurs in the carboxylation reaction. The l’-N-methoxycarbonylbiotin methyl ester was isolated from the acetyl-CoA carboxylase substantiating the hypothesis that the l’-N-carboxamide of enzyme-bound biotin is an intermediate in these carboxylation reactions.

Genetic Polymorphism Detection of the Exon 1 Region of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase Alpha Gene in Iranian Mahabadi Goat Breed

Acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase α (ACC-alpha) is considered as the key regulatory enzyme in fatty acid biosynthesis. ACC-alpha gene is located on Caprine chromosome 11 and is polymorphic in many goat breeds. In the current study, we aimed to find possible single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the exon 1 region of the ACC-alpha gene in Iranian Mahabadi goat breed. Genomic DNA was extracted fro...

Inhibition of Hepatic Acetyl Coenzyme by Hypolipidemic Agents*

The effects of two hypolipidemic agents, 2-methyl-2-[p(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l-naphthyl)-phenoxy]propionate and ethyl 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-methylpropionate, on the activity of a highly purified preparation of acetyl coenxyme A carboxylase, obtained from chicken livers, were studied. Both compounds are inhibitors of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, but they have no inhibitory effect on a number of other enz...

The pyruvate carboxylase of Aspergillus niger.

Woronick and Johnson (1) observed in Aspergillus niger extracts a pyruvate carboxylating system requiring adenosine triphosphate, but not involving phosphopyruvate, and suggested that the carboxylation reaction was coupled with the conversion of adenosine triphosphate to adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate. Utter and Keech (2) studied a similar reaction in extracts of avian and beef l...

The genes encoding the biotin carboxyl carrier protein and biotin carboxylase subunits of Bacillus subtilis acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, the first enzyme of fatty acid synthesis.

The genes encoding two subunits of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase, biotin carboxyl carrier protein, and biotin carboxylase have been cloned from Bacillus subtilis. DNA sequencing and RNA blot hybridization studies indicated that the B. subtilis accB homolog which encodes biotin carboxyl carrier protein, is part of an operon that includes accC, the gene encoding the biotin carboxylase subunit of ...
