Revised nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase gene family
By consensus, the acyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) community, with the advice of the human and mouse genome nomenclature committees, has revised the nomenclature for the mammalian long-chain acyl-CoA synthetases.

Abstract An alkali-labile enzyme-coenzyme A intermediate has been isolated by molecular exclusion chromatography of succinyl-CoA-acetoacetate coenzyme A transferase after incubation with acetoacetyl-CoA or succinyl-CoA. Treatment of the intermediate with tritium-labeled sodium borohydride results in enzyme inactivation and incorporation of ...

Insights into molecular mechanisms of disease in Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation; unifying theories. [PDF]
Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA) is a group of disorders characterised by dystonia, parkinsonism and spasticity. Iron accumulates in the basal ganglia and may be accompanied by Lewy bodies, axonal swellings and hyperphosphorylated ...

Green butyryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase. An enzyme–acyl-coenzyme A complex [PDF]
1. Butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase from Peptostreptococcus elsdenii forms very tightly bound complexes with various acyl-CoA compounds. Spectra in some cases merely show resolution of the 450nm band, but those with acetoacetyl-, pent-2-enoyl- and 4-methylpent-2-enoyl-CoA show long-wavelength bands similar to the 710nm band of native enzyme.

A revised nomenclature for mammalian acyl-CoA thioesterases/hydrolases
Acyl-CoA thioesterases, also known as acyl-CoA hydrolases, are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze CoA esters such as acyl-CoAs (saturated, unsaturated, branched-chain), bile acid-CoAs, CoA esters of prostaglandins, etc., to the corresponding free acid and

Functions of Coenzyme A and Acyl-CoA in Post-Translational Modification and Human Disease
Coenzyme A (CoA) is synthesized from pantothenate, L-cysteine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and plays a vital role in diverse physiological processes. Protein acylation is a common post-translational modification (PTM) that modifies protein structure,
