Hepatic mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis increase during starvation. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) catalyses the rate-controlling step in the overall pathway and retains its control over beta-oxidation under fed, starved and diabetic conditions. To determine the factors contributing to the reported several-fold increase in fatty acid oxidation in perfused livers, we measured the V(max) and K(m) values for palmitoyl-CoA and carnitine, the K(i) (and IC(50)) values for malonyl-CoA in isolated liver mitochondria as well as the hepatic malonyl-CoA and carnitine contents in control and 48 h starved rats. Since CPT-I is localized in the mitochondrial outer membrane and in contact sites, the kinetic properties of CPT-I also was determined in these submitochondrial structures. After 48 h starvation, there is: (a) a significant increase in K(i) and decrease in hepatic malonyl-CoA content; (b) a decreased K(m) for palmitoyl-CoA; and (c) increased catalytic activity (V(max)) and CPT-I protein abundance that is significantly greater in contact sites compared with outer membranes. Based on these changes the estimated increase in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is significantly less than that observed in perfused liver. This suggests that CPT-I is regulated in vivo by additional mechanism(s) lost during mitochondrial isolation or/and that mitochondrial oxidation of peroxisomal beta-oxidation products contribute to the increased ketogenesis by bypassing CPT-I. Furthermore, the greater increase in CPT-I protein in contact sites as compared to outer membranes emphasizes the significance of contact sites in hepatic fatty acid oxidation. 相似文献

We have used radio-high pressure liquid chromatography to study the acyl-CoA ester intermediates and the acylcarnitines formed during mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. During oxidation of [U-14C]hexadecanoate by normal human fibroblast mitochondria, only the saturated acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine esters can be detected, supporting the concept that the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase step is rate-limiting in mitochondrial beta-oxidation. Incubations of fibroblast mitochondria from patients with defects of beta-oxidation show an entirely different profile of intermediates. Mitochondria from patients with defects in electron transfer flavoprotein and electron transfer flavoprotein:ubiquinone oxido-reductase are associated with slow flux through beta-oxidation and accumulation of long chain acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine esters. Increased amounts of saturated medium chain acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine esters are detected in the incubations of mitochondria with medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, whereas long chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is associated with accumulation of long chain 3-hydroxyacyl- and 2-enoyl-CoA and carnitine esters. These studies show that the control strength at the site of the defective enzyme has increased. Radio-high pressure liquid chromatography analysis of intermediates of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is an important new technique to study the control, organization and defects of the enzymes of beta-oxidation. 相似文献

The activities of hepatic fatty acid oxidation enzymes in rats fed linseed and perilla oils rich in alpha-linolenic acid (alpha-18:3) were compared with those in the animals fed safflower oil rich in linoleic acid (18:2) and saturated fats (coconut or palm oil). Mitochondrial and peroxisomal palmitoyl-CoA (16:0-CoA) oxidation rates in the liver homogenates were significantly higher in rats fed linseed and perilla oils than in those fed saturated fats and safflower oil. The fatty oxidation rates increased as dietary levels of alpha-18:3 increased. Dietary alpha-18:3 also increased the activity of fatty acid oxidation enzymes except for 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Unexpectedly, dietary alpha-18:3 caused great reduction in the activity of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase measured with short- and medium-chain substrates but not with long-chain substrate. Dietary alpha-18:3 significantly increased the mRNA levels of hepatic fatty acid oxidation enzymes including carnitine palmitoyltransferase I and II, mitochondrial trifunctional protein, acyl-CoA oxidase, peroxisomal bifunctional protein, mitochondrial and peroxisomal 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolases, 2, 4-dienoyl-CoA reductase and delta3, delta2-enoyl-CoA isomerase. Fish oil rich in very long-chain n-3 fatty acids caused similar changes in hepatic fatty acid oxidation. Regarding the substrate specificity of beta-oxidation pathway, mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation rate of alpha-18:3-CoA, relative to 16:0- and 18:2-CoAs, was higher irrespective of the substrate/albumin ratios in the assay mixture or dietary fat sources. The substrate specificity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I appeared to be responsible for the differential mitochondrial oxidation rates of these acyl-CoA substrates. Dietary fats rich in alpha-18:3-CoA relative to safflower oil did not affect the hepatic activity of fatty acid synthase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase. It was suggested that both substrate specificities and alterations in the activities of the enzymes in beta-oxidation pathway play a significant role in the regulation of the serum lipid concentrations in rats fed alpha-18:3. 相似文献

Carnitine plays an essential role in mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation as a part of a cycle that transfers long-chain fatty acids across the mitochondrial membrane and involves two carnitine palmitoyltransferases (CPT1 and CPT2). Two distinct carnitine acyltransferases, carnitine octanoyltransferase (COT) and carnitine acetyltransferase (CAT), are peroxisomal enzymes, which indicates that carnitine is not only important for mitochondrial, but also for peroxisomal metabolism. It has been demonstrated that after peroxisomal metabolism, specific intermediates can be exported as acylcarnitines for subsequent and final mitochondrial metabolism. There is also evidence that peroxisomes are able to degrade fatty acids that are typically handled by mitochondria possibly after transport as acylcarnitines. Here we review the biochemistry and physiological functions of metabolite exchange between peroxisomes and mitochondria with a special focus on acylcarnitines. 相似文献

The metabolic and genic effects induced by a 20-fold lowering of carnitine content in the heart were studied in mildronate-treated rats. In the perfused heart, the proportion of palmitate taken up then oxidized was 5-10% lower, while the triacylglycerol (TAG) formation was 100% greater than in controls. The treatment was shown to increase the maximal capacity of heart homogenates to oxidize palmitate, the mRNA level of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) isoforms, the specific activity of CPT-I in subsarcolemmal mitochondria and the total carnitine content of isolated mitochondria. Concomitantly, the increased mRNA expression of lipoprotein lipase, fatty acid translocase and enzymes of TAG synthesis was associated with a 5- and 2-times increase in serum TAG and free fatty acid contents, respectively. The compartmentation of carnitine at its main functional location was expected to allow the increased CPT-I activity to ensure in vivo correct fatty acid oxidation rates. All the inductions related to fatty acid transport, oxidation and esterification most likely stem from the abundance of blood lipids providing cardiomyocytes with more fatty acids. 相似文献

The positional and fatty acid specificity of phosphatidic acid biosynthesis in rat liver mitochondria and microsomal fractions was studied by using acylcarnitines, CoA and an excess of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.21) as the source of acyl-CoA. In the mitochondria, the preference for palmitic acid at the 1-position is increased at high acyl-CoA concentrations, whereas it is decreased in the microsomal fraction. There was no change in the fatty acid specificity at the 2-position with different acyl-CoA concentrations in any of the factions. The preference in mitochondria for linoleic acid at the 2-position is strongly increased at high concentrations of lysophosphatidic acid. 相似文献

The activities of peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation and carnitine acyltransferases changed during the process of development from embryo to adult chicken, and the highest activities of peroxisomal beta-oxidation, palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, and carnitine acetyltransferase were found at the hatching stage of the embryo. The profiles of these alterations were in agreement with those of the contents of triglycerides and free fatty acids in the liver. The highest activities of mitochondrial beta-oxidation and palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase were observed at the earlier stages of the embryo; then the activities decreased gradually from embryo to adult chicken. The ratio of activities of carnitine acetyltransferase in peroxisomes and mitochondria (peroxisomes/mitochondria) increased from 0.54 to 0.82 during the development from embryo to adult chicken. The ratio of activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase decreased from 0.82 to 0.25 during the development. The affinity of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase toward the medium-chain acyl-CoAs (C6 and C8) was high in the embryo and decreased with development, whereas the substrate specificity of fatty acyl-CoA oxidase did not change. The substrate specificity of mitochondrial carnitine acyltransferases did not change with development. The affinity of peroxisomal carnitine acyltransferases toward the long-chain acyl-CoAs (C10 to C16) was high in the embryo, but low in adult chicken. 相似文献

The carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity of various subcellular preparations measured with octanoyl-CoA as substrate was markedly increased by bovine serum albumin at low M concentrations of octanoyl-CoA. However, even a large excess (500 M) of this acyl-CoA did not inhibit the activity of the mitochondrial outer carnitine palmitoyltransferase, a carnitine palmitoyltransferase isoform that is particularly sensitive to inhibition by low M concentrations of palmitoyl-CoA. This bovine serum albumin stimulation was independent of the salt activation of the carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity. The effects of acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP) and the fatty acid binding protein were also examined with palmitoyl-CoA as substrate. The results were in line with the findings of stronger binding of acyl-CoA to ACBP but showed that fatty acid binding protein also binds acyl-CoA esters. Although the effects of these proteins on the outer mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase activity and its malonyl-CoA inhibition varied with the experimental conditions, they showed that the various carnitine palmitoyltransferase preparations are effectively able to use palmitoyl-CoA bound to ACBP in a near physiological molar ratio of 1:1 as well as that bound to the fatty acid binding protein. It is suggested that the three proteins mentioned above effect the carnitine palmitoyltransferase activities not only by binding of acyl-CoAs, preventing acyl-CoA inhibition, but also by facilitating the removal of the acylcarnitine product from carnitine palmitoyltransferase. These results support the possibility that the acyl-CoA binding ability of acyl-CoA binding protein and of fatty acid binding protein have a role in acyl-CoA metabolismin vivo.Abbreviations ACBP

Carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase and carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 are members of the carnitine system, which are responsible of the regulation of the mitochondrial CoA/acyl-CoA ratio and of supplying substrates for the ß-oxidation to mitochondria. This study, using cross-Linking reagent, Blue native electrophoresis and immunoprecipitation followed by detection with immunoblotting, shows conclusive evidence about the interaction between carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase supporting the channeling of acylcarnitines and carnitine at level of the inner mitochondrial membrane. 相似文献

Over the last years acylcarnitines have emerged as important biomarkers for the diagnosis of mitochondrial fatty acid β-oxidation (mFAO) and branched-chain amino acid oxidation disorders assuming they reflect the potentially toxic acyl-CoA species, accumulating intramitochondrially upstream of the enzyme block. However, the origin of these intermediates still remains poorly understood. A possibility exists that carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), member of the carnitine shuttle, is involved in the intramitochondrial synthesis of acylcarnitines from accumulated acyl-CoA metabolites. To address this issue, the substrate specificity profile of CPT2 was herein investigated. Saccharomyces cerevisiae homogenates expressing human CPT2 were incubated with saturated and unsaturated C2–C26 acyl-CoAs and branched-chain amino acid oxidation intermediates. The produced acylcarnitines were quantified by ESI-MS/MS. We show that CPT2 is active with medium (C8–C12) and long-chain (C14–C18) acyl-CoA esters, whereas virtually no activity was found with short- and very long-chain acyl-CoAs or with branched-chain amino acid oxidation intermediates. Trans-2-enoyl-CoA intermediates were also found to be poor substrates for CPT2. Inhibition studies performed revealed that trans-2-C16:1-CoA may act as a competitive inhibitor of CPT2 (Ki of 18.8 μM). The results obtained clearly demonstrate that CPT2 is able to reverse its physiological mechanism for medium and long-chain acyl-CoAs contributing to the abnormal acylcarnitines profiles characteristic of most mFAO disorders. The finding that trans-2-enoyl-CoAs are poorly handled by CPT2 may explain the absence of trans-2-enoyl-carnitines in the profiles of mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficient patients, the only defect where they accumulate, and the discrepancy between the clinical features of this and other long-chain mFAO disorders such as very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. 相似文献

Long-chain acylcarnitines accumulate in long-chain fatty acid oxidation defects, especially during periods of increased energy demand from fat. To test whether this increase in long-chain acylcarnitines in very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD(-/-)) knock-out mice correlates with acyl-CoA content, we subjected wild-type (WT) and VLCAD(-/-) mice to forced treadmill running and analyzed muscle long-chain acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in the same tissues. After exercise, long-chain acyl-CoA displayed a significant increase in muscle from VLCAD(-/-) mice [C16:0-CoA, C18:2-CoA and C18:1-CoA in sedentary VLCAD(-/-): 5.95 +/- 0.33, 4.48 +/- 0.51, and 7.70 +/- 0.30 nmol x g(-1) wet weight, respectively; in exercised VLCAD(-/-): 8.71 +/- 0.42, 9.03 +/- 0.93, and 14.82 +/- 1.20 nmol x g(-1) wet weight, respectively (P < 0.05)]. Increase in acyl-CoA in VLCAD-deficient muscle was paralleled by a significant increase in the corresponding chain length acylcarnitine. Exercise resulted in significant lowering of the free carnitine pool in VLCAD(-/-) muscle. This is the first study demonstrating that acylcarnitines and acyl-CoA directly correlate and concomitantly increase after exercise in VLCAD-deficient muscle. 相似文献

Metabolic fate and short-term effects of a 1:1 mixture of cis-9,trans-11 and trans-10,cis-12-conjugated linoleic acids (CLA), compared to linoleic acid (LA), on lipid metabolism was investigated in rat liver. In isolated mitochondria CLA-CoA were poorer substrates than LA-CoA for carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I) activity. However, in digitonin-permeabilized hepatocytes, where interactions among different metabolic pathways can be simultaneously investigated, CLA induced a remarkable stimulatory effect on CPT-I activity. This stimulation can be ascribed to a reduced malonyl-CoA level in turn due to inhibition of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) activity. The ACC/malonyl-CoA/CPT-I system can therefore represent a coordinate control by which CLA may exert effects on the partitioning of fatty acids between esterification and oxidation. Moreover, the rate of oxidation to CO2 and ketone bodies was significantly higher from CLA; peroxisomes rather than mitochondria were responsible for this difference. Interestingly, peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase (AOX) activity strongly increased by CLA-CoA compared to LA-CoA. CLA, metabolized by hepatocytes at a higher rate than LA, were poorer substrates for cellular and VLDL-triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis. Overall, our results suggest that increased fatty acid oxidation with consequent decreased fatty acid availability for TAG synthesis is a potential mechanism by which CLA reduce TAG level in rat liver. 相似文献

Mitochondrial and peroxisomal oxidation of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acid studied in isolated liver cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The partitioning between peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation of [1-14C]eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5(n-3] and [1-14C]arachidonic acid (20:4(n-6)) was studied. In hepatocytes from fasted rats approximately 70% of the fatty acid substrate was oxidized with oleic, linoleic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic (22:6(n-3)) acid, even more with adrenic (22:4(n-6)) and less with arachidonic acid. When the mitochondrial oxidation was suppressed by fructose refeeding and by (+)-decanoylcarnitine, the fatty acid oxidation in per cent of that in cells from fasted rats was with 18:1(n-9) 7%, 18:2(n-6) 8%, 20:4(n-6) 12%, 20:5(n-3) 20%, 22:4(n-6) 57% and for 22:6(n-3) 29%. The fraction of 14C recovered in palmitate and other newly synthesized fatty acids after fructose refeeding decreased in the order 22:4(n-6) greater than 22:6(n-3) greater than 20:5(n-3) greater than 20:4(n-6) and was very small with 18:1(n-9) and 18:2(n-6). In cells from both fed and fructose-refed animals 20:5(n-3) was efficiently elongated to 22:5(n-3) and 22:6(n-3). 20:5(n-3) and 20:4(n-6) were not elongated after fasting. The phospholipid incorporation with [1-14C]20:5(n-3) decreased during prolonged incubations while it remained stable with [1-14C]arachidonic acid. The results suggest that peroxisomes contribute more to the oxidation of 20:5(n-3) than with 20:4(n-6) although both substrates are probably oxidized mainly in the mitochondria. 相似文献

Physiological compartmental analysis of alpha-linolenic acid metabolism in adult humans 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
A physiological compartmental model of alpha-linolenic acid metabolism was derived from the plasma concentration-time curves for d5-18:3n-3, d5-20:5n-3, d5-22:5n-3, and d5-22:6n-3 in eight healthy subjects. Subjects received a 1-g oral dose of an isotope tracer of alpha-linolenate (d5-18:3n-3 ethyl ester) while subsisting on a rigorously controlled beef-based diet. By utilizing the Windows Simulation and Analysis Modeling program, kinetic parameters were determined for each subject. Half-lives and mean transit times of the n-3 fatty acids in the plasma were also determined. The model predicted plasma values for the n-3 fatty acids in good accordance with the measured steady state concentrations and also predicted dietary linolenic acid intake for each subject in accordance with values determined by lipid analysis of the diet. Only about 0.2% of the plasma 18:3n-3 was destined for synthesis of 20:5n-3, approximately 63% of the plasma 20:5n-3 was accessible for production of 22:5n-3, and 37% of 22:5n-3 was available for synthesis of 22:6n-3. The inefficiency of the conversion of 18:3n-3 to 20:5n-3 indicates that the biosynthesis of long-chain n-3 PUFA from alpha-linolenic acid is limited in healthy individuals. In contrast, the much greater rate of transfer of mass from the plasma 20:5n-3 compartment to 22:5n-3 suggests that dietary eicosapentaenoic acid may be well utilized in the biosynthesis of 22:6n-3 in humans. 相似文献

beta-Oxidation rates for the CoA esters of elaidic, oleic and stearic acids and their full-cycle beta-oxidation intermediates and for the carnitine esters of oleic and elaidic acids were compared over a wide range of substrate and albumin concentrations in rat heart mitochondria. The esters of elaidic acid were oxidized at about half the rate of the oleic acid esters, while stearoyl-CoA was oxidized equally as rapid as oleoyl-CoA. The full-cycle beta-oxidation intermediates of elaidoyl-CoA (trans-16 : 1 delta 7, -14 : 1 delta 5, and -12 : 1 delta 3) were found to be oxidized at rates nearly equal to those for the corresponding intermediates of oleoyl-CoA. Therefore, after the first cycle of beta-oxidation, oleoyl-CoA and elaidoyl-CoA are oxidized at nearly equal rates. The activity of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase was higher with elaidoyl-CoA and its full-cycle intermediates as substrates than with the corresponding cisisomers. It was concluded that the slower oxidation rate of elaidic acid is not due to slower oxidation of any of its full-cycle beta-oxidation intermediates, nor to slower activity of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, nor to outer mitochondrial carnitine acyltransferase. Possible explanations to account for the slower oxidation rate of elaidic acid are discussed. 相似文献

The effect of malonyl-CoA on the kinetic parameters of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) the outer form of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (palmitoyl-CoA: L-carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase, EC 2.3.1.21) from rat heart mitochondria was investigated using a kinetic analyzer in the absence of bovine serum albumin with non-swelling conditions and decanoyl-CoA as the cosubstrate. The K0.5 for decanoyl-CoA is 3 microM for heart mitochondria from both fed and fasted rats. Membrane-bound carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) shows substrate cooperativity for both carnitine and acyl-CoA, similar to that exhibited by the enzyme purified from bovine heart mitochondria. The Hill coefficient for decanoyl-CoA varied from 1.5 to 2.0, depending on the method of assay and the preparation of mitochondria. Malonyl-CoA increased the K0.5 for decanoyl-CoA with no apparent increase in sigmoidicity or Vmax. With 20 microM malonyl-CoA and a Hill coefficient of n = 2.1, the K0.5 for decanoyl-CoA increased to 185 microM. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) from fed rats had an apparent Ki for malonyl-CoA of 0.3 microM, while that from 48-h-fasted rats was 2.5 microM. The kinetics with L-carnitine were variable: for different preparations of mitochondria, the K0.5 ranged from 0.2 to 0.7 mM and the Hill coefficient varied from 1.2 to 1.8. When an isotope forward assay was used to determine the effect of malonyl-CoA on carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) activity of heart mitochondria from fed and fasted animals, the difference was much less than that obtained using a continuous rate assay. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) was less sensitive to malonyl-CoA at low compared to high carnitine concentrations, particularly with mitochondria from fasted animals. The data show that carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) exhibits substrate cooperativity for both acyl-CoA and L-carnitine in its native state. The data show that membrane-bound carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) like carnitine palmitoyltransferase purified from heart mitochondria exhibits substrate cooperativity indicative of allosteric enzymes and indicate that malonyl-CoA acts like a negative allosteric modifier by shifting the acyl-CoA saturation to the right. A slow form of membrane-bound carnitine palmitoyltransferase (outer) was not detected, and thus, like purified carnitine palmitoyltransferase, substrate-induced hysteretic behavior is not the cause of the positive substrate cooperativity. 相似文献

Chain-length specificities of mitochondrial and peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids in livers of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
R J Henderson J R Sargent 《Comparative biochemistry and physiology. B, Comparative biochemistry》1985,82(1):79-85
Peroxisomes and mitochondria were prepared from livers of rainbow trout fed diets containing either 15% crude fish oil (CFO) or 11.5% partially hydrogenated fish oil (PHFO) plus 3.5% CFO. Peroxisomal preparations from the two dietary groups showed similar rates and substrate specificity patterns for acyl-CoA oxidation. The peroxisomal oxidation rate was highest with 12:0-CoA and decreased with increasing chain length, being negligible with 22-carbon acyl-CoA's. The trans isomer of 18:1(n-9) was oxidized at a higher rate than the cis isomer only by peroxisomes from the PHFO + CFO group. Mitochondria prepared from both groups of fish exhibited a broad chain-length specificity for the oxidation of acylcarnitines. Both polyunsaturated and trans monoenoic fatty acids were readily oxidized. 相似文献

Conversion of alpha-linolenic acid to palmitic,palmitoleic, stearic and oleic acids in men and women 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The purpose of this study was to determine whether adult humans can recycle carbon from alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) into saturated (SFA) and monounsaturated (MUFA) fatty acids. Six men and six women consumed 700 mg [U-13C]-18:3n-3. Blood was collected over 21 days and breath over 24h. [13C]-labelled SFA and MUFA were detected in plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC) and triacylglycerol (TAG). Total labelled fatty acid incorporation into SFA and MUFA was five- and 25-fold greater in PC than TAG in men and women, respectively. [13C]-16:0 was the major labelled fatty acid in both fractions. Total [13C] incorporation into SFA and MUFA was 20% greater in men than women, and related positively (r(2) = 0.35, P<0.05) to the fractional recovery of labelled 18:3n-3 as 13CO2 on breath. These results suggest that the extent of partitioning towards beta-oxidation and carbon recycling may regulate the availability of 18:3n-3 for conversion to longer-chain fatty acids. 相似文献

In hepatic mitochondria, the outer membrane enzyme, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I), appears to colocalize with contact sites. We have prepared contact sites that are essentially devoid of noncontact site membranes. The contact site fraction has a high specific activity for CPT-I and contains a protein at 88 kDa that is recognized by antibodies directed at two different peptide epitopes on CPT-I. Similarly long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (LCAS) specific activity is high in this fraction; a protein at 79 kDa is recognized by an antibody against LCAS. Although activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-II (CPT-II) is present, it is not enriched in the contact site fraction, and a protein of 68 kDa weakly reacted with anti-CPT-II antibody. Likewise, carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT) protein is present, but at a somewhat reduced level. Using an analytical continuous sucrose gradient, we demonstrate that the activities of CPT-I and LCAS and their associated immunoreactive proteins are present in a constant amount throughout the contact site subfractions. The enzymatic activity of CPT-II and its associated immunoreactive protein, as well as immunoreactive CACT, is absent in the lighter density gradient subfractions and is present in the higher density subfractions only in trace amounts. This heterogeneity of the contact site fraction is due to unvarying amounts of outer membrane and increasing amounts of attached inner membrane with increasing density of the subfractions. 相似文献
