Acyl coenzyme A as an intermediate in the mitochondrial acylation of carnitine by α-keto acids

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1963
1. 1. Pyruvate and a number of other α-keto acids have been used as substrates for the acylation of carnitine by intact mammalian mitochondria. Acetyl- and/or propionylcarnitine were the only detectable reaction products, irrespective of the chain length of the α-keto acid used. 2. 2.

Acyl-Coenzyme A—Cholesterol Acyltransferase Activity in Human Liver

Clinical Science, 1979
1. In the presence of CoA and ATP, human liver microsomes catalyse the incorporation of [14C]oleate or [14C]cholesterol into cholesteryl oleate, thus demonstrating the presence of acyl-coenzyme A-cholesterol acyltransferase (cholesterol acyltransferase) in human liver. 2. The enzyme has properties similar to those of rat liver enzyme and

[50] Acyl coenzyme A-dependent retinol esterification

1990
Publisher Summary One of the reactions whereby retinol is esterified for storage in the liver is acyl-CoA-dependent transacylation, catalyzed by the microsomal enzyme acyl-CoA:retinol O-acyltransferase (ARAT). ARAT transfers the acyl group directly from the acyl-CoA derivative to retinol, thereby forming the corresponding retinyl ester.

Photoaffinity labeling of acyl-coenzyme A:glycine N-acyltransferase with p-azidobenzoyl-coenzyme A

Biochemistry, 1977
A photolabile reagent, p-azidobenzoyl-CoA, has been synthesized and tested as a photoaffinity label for acyl-CoA:glycine N-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.13) from beef liver. p-Azidobenzoyl-CoA is an active-site-directed reagent for this N-acyltransferase, since it is an alternate substrate (Km = 26 micronM, when [glycine] = 100 mM).

Effect of ethanol on hepatic acyl-coenzyme A metabolism

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1965
Abstract Ethanol feeding to fed or fasted rats lowers the hepatic concentration of long chain acyl-CoA derivatives, despite large increases in hepatic triglyceride content. This effect is limited to the duration of ethanol metabolism and is associated with an increase in hepatic α-glycerolphosphate concentration.

[49] Measurement of acyl coenzyme A-dependent esterification of retinol

1990
Publisher Summary This chapter presents the method to measure the reaction rate of the acyl-CoA-stimulated esterification of retinol presented to microsomes in dispersed form. This enzymatic reaction is referred to as acyl-CoA: retinol acyltransferase, or ARAT.
