Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the molecular properties of acetyl-CoA carboxylases from animal, bacterial, and plant cells. It also focuses on the regulation of catalytic activity. The mode of regulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase reflects its physiological role in animal and bacterial cells.

Obesity and lipid stress inhibit carnitine acetyltransferase activity[S]
Carnitine acetyltransferase (CrAT) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of acetyl-CoA and acetylcarnitine. Emerging evidence suggests that this enzyme functions as a positive regulator of total body glucose tolerance and ...

Determination of acetyl coenzyme A. Interference by a contaminant in malate dehydrogenase
Spectrophotometric determinations of acetyl CoA with malate dehydrogenase and citrate synthase are likely to overestimate the amount of acetyl CoA in solutions containing acetoacetyl CoA, since commercial preparations of malate dehydrogenase may contain ...

Malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, remains one of the most fatal parasitic diseases that has affected nearly a third of the world’s population. The major impediment to the treatment of malaria is the emergence of resistance of the P.

Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) on AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) phosphorylation and β-oxidation in skeletal muscle.

Regulation of Acetyl-Coenzyme A Carboxylase and Acetyl-Coenzyme A Synthetase in Spinach Chloroplasts
In analogy to chloroplast fatty acid synthesis from acetate the key enzymes of 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 stim ulation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase by dithiothreitol in darkened chloroplasts points to an

Glaucoma, a major cause of blindness, involves retinal ganglion cell (RGC) degeneration. This study shows growth hormone‐releasing hormone receptor (GHRHR) deficiency preserves RGC survival and restores vision, unlike activation which only aids survival.

Characterization of Maize Acetyl-Coenzyme A Carboxylase [PDF]
Maize (Zea mays L.) leaf acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) was purified about 500-fold by ammonium sulfate fractionation and gel filtration and blue Sepharose affinity and anion-exchange chromatography. Most ACCase activity (85%) recovered from the anion-exchange column was found in a highly purified fraction (specific activity 5.5 [mu]mol acid-stable ...
