Dissection of malonyl-coenzyme A reductase of Chloroflexus aurantiacus results in enzyme activity improvement. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The formation of fusion protein in biosynthetic pathways usually improves metabolic efficiency either channeling intermediates and/or colocalizing enzymes. In the metabolic engineering of biochemical pathways, generating unnatural protein fusions between

Properties of Malonyl‐CoA Decarboxylase and its Relation with Malonyl‐CoA Incorporation into Fatty Acids by Rat Liver Mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1971
1 Malonyl-CoA decarboxylase in rat liver, heart, kidney and brain is mainly a mitochondrial enzyme associated with the matrix space. 2 The Michaelis constant for this enzyme, in rat liver mitochondria, has been calculated as 42 μM. 3 N-Ethylmaleimide, p-chloromercuribenzoate and palmityl-CoA, but not arsenite, inhibit malonyl-CoA decarboxylase.

Mechanism of activation of bovine kidney pyruvate dehydrogenase a kinase by malonyl‐CoA and enzyme‐catalyzed decarboxylation of malonyl‐CoA [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 1985
The activity of the pyruvate dhydrogenase kinase, which phosphorylates and therby inactivates the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, was stimulated by malonyl‐CoA. Treatment with [2‐14C]malonyl‐CoA resulted in acylation of sites in the complex. Both acylation and activation of kinase activity increased in a time‐dependent manner with a parallel increase ...

Fus3, as a Critical Kinase in MAPK Cascade, Regulates Aflatoxin Biosynthesis by Controlling the Substrate Supply in Aspergillus flavus, Rather than the Cluster Genes Modulation

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
The Fus3-MAP kinase module is a conserved phosphorylation signal system in eukaryotes that responds to environmental stress and transduction of external signals from the outer membrane to the nucleus. Aspergillus flavus can produce aflatoxins (AF), which

A Genetically Encoded Metabolite Sensor for Malonyl-CoA

open access: yesChemistry & Biology, 2012
Malonyl-CoA is the rate-determining metabolite for long chain de novo fatty acid synthesis and allosterically inhibits the rate-setting step in long chain fatty acid β-oxidation. We developed a cell-based genetically encoded biosensor based on the malonyl-CoA responsive Bacillus subtilis transcriptional repressor, FapR, for living mammalian cells. Here,

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Addition of Malonates to Cyclic Imines: A Short Total Synthesis of Tetraponerine T‐1

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A stereoselective functionalization method of cyclic imines under mild organocatalytic conditions was developed. Bifunctional cinchona alkaloid catalysts combined with carefully optimized reaction conditions to suppress background reactivity enabled highly enantio‐ and diastereoselective addition reactions of malonates to cyclic imines.

De novo synthesis and elongation of fatty acids by subcellular fractions of monkey aorta

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1968
Subcellular fractions of aorta of squirrel monkey (Saimiri sciureus) were examined for their ability to synthesize and elongate fatty acids. High-speed supernate (HSS) incorporated substantial quantities of malonyl CoA into fatty acids while acetyl CoA ...

Combining Metabolic Engineering and Multiplexed Screening Methods for 3-Hydroxypropionic Acid Production in Pichia pastoris

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022
Production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) in Pichia pastoris (syn. Komagataella phaffii) via the malonyl-CoA pathway has been recently demonstrated using glycerol as a carbon source, but the reported metrics were not commercially relevant.

Sensing of nutrients by CPT1C regulates late endosome/lysosome anterograde transport and axon growth

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Anterograde transport of late endosomes or lysosomes (LE/Lys) is crucial for proper axon growth. However, the role of energetic nutrients has been poorly explored.

Ralstonia solanacearum RSp0194 Encodes a Novel 3-Keto-Acyl Carrier Protein Synthase III. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Fatty acid synthesis (FAS), a primary metabolic pathway, is essential for survival of bacteria. Ralstonia solanacearum, a β-proteobacteria member, causes a bacterial wilt affecting more than 200 plant species, including many economically important plants.
