Palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.2) catalyses the irreversible hydrolysis of long-chain acyl-CoA thioesters. This enzyme is found primarily in the postmicrosomal supernatant fraction prepared from homogenates of rat brain. Either of two forms of the hydrolase, a lower-molecular-weight species of approx. 70000 or a higher-molecular-weight species of approx. 130000 can be isolated by gel filtration. The higher-molecular-weight form is obtained from columns of Sephadex G-200 eluted with buffer containing 10mum-palmitoyl-CoA or 20% (v/v) glycerol, whereas the lower-molecular-weight form is obtained when the eluting buffer does not contain palmitoyl-CoA or glycerol. The two forms of the hydrolase have the same pH optimum of 7.5, are equally sensitive to the thiol-blocking reagents p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, HgCl(2), and 5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), and exhibit the same K(m) (1.8mum) with palmitoyl-CoA as substrate. The two forms differ in the availability or reactivity of certain external thiol groups, as determined by covalent chromatography with activated thiol Sepharose. Dilute solutions of the lower-molecular-weight form of the hydrolase rapidly lose activity (50% in 60min at 0 degrees C), but there is no change in the K(m) with palmitoyl-CoA as substrate during this progressive inactivation. Dilutions of the hydrolase in buffer containing 10mum-palmitoyl-CoA retain full activity. However, addition of palmitoyl-CoA to solutions of the lower-molecular-weight form will not restore previously lost hydrolase activity. The evidence supports the conclusion that the substrate palmitoyl-CoA promotes the formation of a relatively stable dimer from two unstable subunits. This process may not be reversible, since the removal of palmitoyl-CoA or glycerol from solutions of the higher-molecular-weight form does not result in the appearance of the lower-molecular-weight form of the hydrolase.  相似文献

The palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity, which in human blood platelets is mainly localized in the cytosol fraction [Berge, Vollset & Farstad (1980) Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 40, 271--279], was found to be extremely labile. Inclusion of glycerol or palmitoyl-CoA stabilized the activity during preparation. Gel-filtration studies revealed multiple forms of the enzyme with molecular weights corresponding to about 70 000, 40 000 and 24 000. The relative recovery of the mol.wt.-70 000 form was increased by the presence of 20% (v/v) glycerol or 10 microM-palmitoyl-CoA. The three enzyme forms are probably unrelated, since they were not interconvertible. The three different species of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase were purified by DEAE-cellulose and hydroxyapatite chromatography, isoelectric focusing and high-pressure liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.) to apparent homogeneity. The three enzymes had isoelectric points (pI) of 7.0, 6.1 and 4.9. The corresponding molecular weights were 27 000--33 000, 66 000--72 000 and 45 000--49 000, calculated from h.p.l.c. and Ultrogel AcA-44 chromatography. The apparently purified enzymes were unstable, as most of the activity was lost during purification. The enzyme with an apparent molecular weight of 45 000--49 000 was split into fractions with molecular weights of less than 10 000 by re-chromatography on h.p.l.c. concomitantly with a loss of activity. The stimulation of the activity by the presence of serum albumin seems to depend on the availability of palmitoyl-CoA, as has been reported for other palmitoyl-CoA hydrolases.

Addition of adipocyte 100 000 g post-microsomal supernatant to assays of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase in isolated mitochondria or microsomal fractions decreased activity at lower concentrations of palmitoyl-CoA. At higher concentrations of palmitoyl-CoA, activation was observed on addition of post-microsomal supernatant. The effect of post-microsomal supernatant to decrease activity at lower [palmitoyl-CoA] was abolished by heating or by trypsin treatment, and was also abolished by addition of N-ethylmaleimide to assays or by pretreatment of post-microsomal supernatant with N-ethylmaleimide. The stimulatory effect seen at higher [palmitoyl-CoA] was not sensitive to heat or trypsin treatment. The effect of post-microsomal supernatant at lower [palmitoyl-CoA] cannot be attributed to palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity. It was found that brief treatment of adipocyte mitochondria with low concentrations of trypsin was an effective way to remove contaminating microsomal glycerol phosphate acyltransferase activity. Adipocyte post-microsomal supernatant was more effective than an equivalent quantity of liver post-microsomal supernatant protein in decreasing adipocyte microsomal glycerol phosphate acyltransferase activity. The effects of the supernatants from both tissues were decreased by flavaspidic acid. Semi-purified Z-protein fraction from rat liver did not mimic the effect of adipocyte post-microsomal supernatant to decrease glycerol phosphate acyltransferase at lower [palmitoyl-CoA]. Post-microsomal supernatants obtained from noradrenaline-treated adipocytes were less effective than those from control cells in decreasing glycerol phosphate acyltransferase activity in microsomal fractions at lower [palmitoyl-CoA]. It is suggested that adipocyte cytosol may contain an acyl-CoA-binding protein or proteins differing from Z-protein in some respects. The physiological significance of the findings is briefly discussed.  相似文献

Brain 10 nm filaments were isolated from bovine, rabbit and rat brains by a modification of an existing procedure. The overall polypeptide composition of these preparations was similar to that previously reported for brain neurofilaments. In addition to the major polypeptide component, which has mol. wt. approx. 50 000, three other polypeptides with chain mol. wts. approx. 210 000, 155 000 and 70 000, which correspond to peripheral-nerve neurofilament polypeptides, were consistently found to be present. The mol. wt.-50 000 species was found to be heterogeneous and may contain a component derived from the mol. wt. 70 000 polypeptide. The three higher-molecular-weight polypeptides did not appear to be obviously homologous or to be homologous with myosin or Myxicola neurofilament polypeptides. These same three higher-molecular-weight components were shown to be identical with the polypeptides probably responsible for the 10 nm filaments formed during the early cycles of the tubulin-purification protocol.  相似文献

1. With microsomal fractions of guinea-pig intestinal mucosa the mean specific activity of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase was approx. 1.3-fold the esterification of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate with palmitoyl-CoA generated by the endogenous synthetase. The latter activity was approx. 2.5- and 5-fold that when palmitoyl-CoA was generated from palmitoylcarnitine or when it was added directly to the assay system. 2. There were significant correlations (P<0.001) between the specific activities of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and glycerolipid synthesis from either palmitate or palmitoylcarnitine. 3. The mean molar composition of glycerolipid synthesized from palmitate or palmitoylcarnitine was approx. 18% lysophosphatidate, 75% phosphatidate and 7% neutral lipid. 4. Glycerolipid synthesis from palmitate was inhibited by 80–90% after preincubation of microsomal fractions at 37°C for 40min and was caused by inactivation of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase. 5. Addition of 100–400mm-KCl inhibited palmitoyl-CoA synthetase activity and glycerolipid synthesis from palmitate but stimulated glycerol phosphate acyltransferase activity. 6. Diversion of palmitoyl-CoA synthesized by the endogenous synthetase to palmitoylcarnitine resulted in an almost stoicheiometric decrease in glycerolipid synthesis. 7. Addition of rac-1-monopalmitin promoted utilization of palmitoyl-CoA by the monoglyceride pathway but did not inhibit phosphatidate biosynthesis. 8. With rate-limiting concentrations of CoA and Mg2+ the relative decreases in velocity for palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and glycerolipid synthesis from palmitate were almost identical. However, low concentrations of palmitate and ATP produced greater decreases in synthetase activity than in glycerolipid synthesis. 9. There appears to be a fine balance between the activities of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and glycerol phosphate acyltransferase, with neither activity being in excess with respect to phosphatidate synthesis.  相似文献

Subcellular fractionation studies of rat liver localized the activity of palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase to the microsomal fraction whereas palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity was found both in the microsomal fraction and in mitochrondria. An unusual biphasic sataration curve for palmitoyl-CoA was observed when intact mitochondrial hydrolase activity. Disruption of the mitochondrial structure doubled the palmitoyl-CoA hydrolysis. Discontinuous sucrose gradient centrifugation and digitonin fractionation of rat liver mitochondria demonstrated that a palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase was associated with the matrix fraction. Pure matrix and microsomal fractions showed that the two hydrolase activities were differently affected by the presence of divalent cations. Both the specific activity and the saturation concentration of palmitoyl-CoA were higher for the microsomal enzyme than for the matrix-associated enzyme.  相似文献

Rabbit myocardial cytosolic acyl coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) hydrolase activity was purified to near-homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange, gel filtration, chromatofocusing, and hydroxylapatite chromatographies. Kinetic analysis of the purified protein demonstrated a maximum velocity of 24 mumol/(mg . min) and an apparent Michaelis constant of 50 microM. Cytosolic acyl-CoA hydrolase and lysophospholipase activities cochromatographed in every fraction of every step. The purified protein was a single band (Mr 23 000) after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and silver staining. These results suggest that cytosolic lysophospholipase and palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activities are catalyzed by a single polypeptide with dual activities. Palmitoyl-CoA competitively inhibited lysophospholipase activity (Ki = 4 microM). Low concentrations (20 microM) of lysophosphatidylcholine or L-palmitoylcarnitine increased palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity at low palmitoyl-CoA concentrations but had little effect at high concentrations of palmitoyl-CoA. In contrast, high concentrations (100 microM) of lysophosphatidylcholine or L-palmitoylcarnitine inhibited palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity. The results suggest that interactions between endogenous cardiac amphiphiles and palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase contribute to the regulation of intracellular long-chain acyl-CoA concentrations and therefore potentially modulate fluxes of fatty acid through several biochemical pathways.  相似文献

This paper shows that the palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity of postheparin serum of the rat is mainly derived from the liver. The identity of this activity with the heparin-releasable hepatic triacylglycerol hydrolase activity is established. The consequences of the different substrate specificities of the hepatic and extrahepatic enzymes for the measurement of the overall postheparin serum lipase activity are discussed. Treatment of the rats with either a corticosteroid or with streptozotocin was found to lower the lipolytic activity from the liver and to enhance the extrahepatic activity. Also in human postheparin serum, palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity is shown to behave identical with hepatic triacylglycerol hydrolase activity. The possible function of the liver in the serum triacylglycerol metabolism is discussed in connection with the proposed mechanism for the role of extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase in atherogenesis.  相似文献

The present study has confirmed previous findings of long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase activities in the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of the normal rat liver. In addition, experimental evidence is presented in support of a peroxisomal localization of long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. (a) Analytical differential centrifugation of homogenates from normal rat liver revealed that this activity (using palmitoyl-CoA as the substrate) was also present in a population of particles with an average sedimentation coefficient of 6740 S, characteristic of peroxisomal marker enzymes. (b) The subcellular distribution of the hydrolase activity was greatly affected by administration of the peroxisomal proliferators clofibrate and tiadenol. The specific activity was enhanced in the mitochondrial fraction and in a population of particles with an average sedimentation coefficient of 4400 S, characteristic of peroxisomal marker enzymes. Three populations of particles containing lysosomal marker enzymes were found by analytical differential centrifugation, both in normal and clofibrate-treated rats. Our data do not support the proposal that palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase and acid phosphatase belong to the same subcellular particles. In livers from rats treated with peroxisomal proliferators, the specific activity of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase was also enhanced in the particle-free supernatant. Evidence is presented that this activity at least in part, is related to the peroxisomal proliferation.  相似文献

The kinetics of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase were influenced by both the availability of the substrate and formation of micelles. At palmitoyl-CoA concentrations below the critical micelle concentration, addition of non-ionic detergent increased the activity until the critical micelle concentration of the mixed micelles was reached. At palmitoyl-CoA concentrations above the critical micelle concentration, inhibitor of the activity was observed, but addition of detergents of the Triton X series reversed the inhibition. Maximum palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity was found when the ratios (w/v) of palmitoyl-CoA: Triton X-100 and palmitoyl-CoA: Triton X-405 were approximately 0.35 and 0.05, respectively. At these above the mixed critical micelle concentration. The results indicate that monomer palmitoyl-CoA is the substrate and that monomer forms of the non-ionic detergents of the Triton X series activate the enzyme. Isolated microsomal lipids activated the microsomal palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase, suggesting that a hydrophobic environment is advantageous for interaction between enzyme and substrate in vivo. The maximum activity in the presence of mixed micelles is discussed in relation to a model where mixed micelles are regarded as artificial membranes to which the enzyme may adhere in an equilibrium with the monomer substrate and detergent in the monomer form. It is suggested that intracellular membranes may resemble mixed micelles in equilibrium with detergent-active substrates such as palmitoyl-CoA.  相似文献

Incubation of rat adipose-tissue microsomal fractions with iodoacetate caused an inactivation of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase that could be prevented by the presence of palmitoyl-CoA. A microsomal protein of subunit Mr 54 000 was found to react with radioactively labelled iodoacetate in the absence, but not in the presence, of palmitoyl-CoA. It is suggested that this protein is a component of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase. Incubation of rat adipose-tissue microsomal fractions with the catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, ATP and Mg2+ caused an inactivation of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase whose magnitude depended on the conditions used for assay of the acyltransferase. Rat adipose tissue microsomal proteins were phosphorylated by using protein kinase and [gamma-32P]ATP. One of the phosphorylated proteins was very similar, but not identical, in mobility to the Mr-54 000 protein labelled by iodoacetate. In contrast with a previous report [Sooranna & Saggerson (1976) FEBS Lett. 64, 36-39], no changes could be detected in the activity of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase in adipocytes treated with adrenaline. Adipocytes were labelled with [32P]Pi and treated with adrenaline, but no 32P was incorporated into the Mr-54000 protein labelled by iodoacetate. The results suggest that the activity of adipose-tissue microsomal glycerol phosphate acyltransferase is not directly controlled by phosphorylation.  相似文献

The aqueous extract of rat salivary submaxillary gland was found to contain three protein fractions activating the release of free fatty acids (FFA) and glycerol from rat epididymal adipose tissue in vitro. Physico-chemical investigations of these proteins demonstrated certain common features: all three fractions were albumins having a common isoelectric point, and their aqueous solutions absorbed light at the same wavelength. The use of lipolysis activators and inhibitors (theophylline, propranolol, insulin) for investigating their effects on FFA and glycerol release produced by these protein fractions explained the mechanism of the lipolytic action of the protein fractions from rat submaxillary glands.  相似文献

Palmitoyl-CoA synthetase activity in the microsomal fraction of rat liver was measured directly by palmitoyl-CoA production, and indirectly by converting the palmitoyl-CoA into palmitoylcarnitine under optimum conditions. Even in the latter system, palmitoyl-CoA accumulated. The rate of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolysis and the inhibition of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase by palmitoyl-CoA were each estimated to be less than 10% of the maximum rate of palmitoyl-CoA production. The concentration of palmitoyl-CoA present in the assay systems used for measuring palmitate esterification to glycerol phosphate and the activity of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase by using the carnitine-linked determination were measured. These concentrations were not altered by the addition of glycerol phosphate, or of carnitine plus carnitine palmitoyltransferase. The relationship between the activity of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and the rate of glycerolipid synthesis was investigated. The latter activity was measured by using palmitoyl-CoA generated from palmitate, palmitoyl--AMP or palmitoylcarnitine. It is concluded that, at optimum substrate concentrations, the activity of glycerol phosphate acyltransferase is rate-limiting in the synthesis of phosphatidate by rat liver microsomal fractions. The implications of these results in the measurement of palmitoyl-CoA synthetase and in the control of glycerolipid synthesis are discussed.  相似文献

1. A barley glucan with 68% of beta-(1-->4)-linkages and 32% of beta-(1-->3)-linkages was exhaustively hydrolysed with an Aspergillus niger beta-(1-->4)-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.4) (Clarke & Stone, 1965b). The hydrolysis products were separated and estimated. 2. The lower-molecular-weight products were identified as: glucose, 1.4%; cellobiose, 11.9%; 3(2)-O-beta-glucosylcellobiose, 45.0%; a tetrasaccharide(s), which was a substituted cellobiose, 16.4%. A series of unidentified higher-molecular-weight products (26.5%) were also found. 3. The identity of the products suggests that the A. niger beta-(1-->4)-glucan hydrolase hydrolyses beta-glucosidic linkages joining 4-O-substituted glucose residues. 4. When an enzyme fraction containing the beta-(1-->4)-glucan hydrolase and an exo-beta-(1-->3)-glucan hydrolase was used, the same products were found, but the higher-molecular-weight products were observed to have only a transient existence in the hydrolysate and were virtually absent after prolonged incubation. It is suggested that these oligosaccharides are resistant to attack by beta-(1-->4)-glucan hydrolase but are partially hydrolysed by the exo-beta-(1-->3)-glucan hydrolase and therefore possess one or more (1-->3)-linked glucose residues at their non-reducing end.  相似文献

A long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase from rat liver microsomes has been purified by solvent extraction and gel chromatography to homogeneity as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence and absence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The enzyme was a monomer of molecular weight 59 000. In a sucrose gradient it sedimented at 4.3 S. The isoelectric point, pI was 6.9, and the Stokes radius was approx. 31 A. The enzyme hydrolyzed long-chain fatty acyl-CoA (C7--C18) with maximum activity for palmitoyl-CoA. Bovine serum albumin activation of the enzyme was related to the ratio acyl-CoA/bovine serum albumin, and at high ratios, acyl-CoA inhibited the enzyme activity. Disregarding the substrate inhibition, an apparent Km of 65 nmol/mg protein or 1-10(-7) M and a V of 750 nmol/mg protein per min were calculated. The enzyme was inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate and N-ethylmaleimide. Reactivation by means of dithiothreitol was not complete.  相似文献

An acyl-CoA hydrolase, referred to as hBACH, was purified from human brain cytosol. The enzyme had a molecular mass of 100 kDa and 43-kDa subunits, and was highly active with long-chain acyl-CoAs, e.g. a maximal velocity of 295 micromol/min/mg and K(m) of 6.4 microM for palmitoyl-CoA. Acyl-CoAs with carbon chain lengths of C(8-18) were also good substrates. In human brain cytosol, 85% of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity was titrated by an anti-BACH antibody, which accounted for over 75% of the enzyme activity found in the brain tissue. The cDNA isolated for hBACH, when expressed in Escherichia coli, directed the expression of palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity and a 44-kDa protein immunoreactive to the anti-BACH antibody, which in turn neutralized the hydrolase activity. The hBACH cDNA encoded a 338-amino acid sequence which was 95% identical to that of a rat homolog. The hBACH gene spanned about 130 kb and comprised 9 exons, and was mapped to 1p36.2 on the cytogenetic ideogram. These findings indicate that the long-chain acyl-CoA hydrolase present in the brain is well conserved between man and the rat, suggesting a conserved role for this enzyme in the mammalian brain, and enabling genetic studies on the functional analysis of acyl-CoA hydrolase.  相似文献

The effect of rat submaxillary extract on the growth of rat C6 glioma cells in serum-free culture has been examined. Extracts (10-15 microgram/ml) of submaxillary glands from both male and female rats markedly enhanced the growth of serum-deprived C6 cells and, in combination with insulin, transferrin, and NIH-LH (a source of fibroblast growth factor), were able to stimulate C6 cell growth to an extent comparable to that achieved with an optimal amount of fetal calf serum. The mitogenic activity of rat submaxillary extracts was found to be heat-labile, acid-stable, and partially inactivated by protease and 2-mercaptoethanol. Under our assay conditions, biologically active preparations of purified mouse submaxillary gland epidermal growth factor (EGF) or nerve growth factor (NGF) were not mitogenic for C6 cells, nor was the mitogenic activity of rat submaxillary extracts inhibited by antiserum to these mouse submaxillary gland growth factors. These results suggest that the active component(s) of rat submaxillary extracts is unrelated to either EGF or NGF. The growth-enhancing effect also appears unrelated to esteropeptidase activity present in these extracts since the mitogenic activity was unaffected by several protease inhibitors. Moreover, two purified mouse submaxillary gland arginylesteropeptidases, EGF-binding protein and gamma-subunit of 7 S NGF, were unable to elicit a comparable growth response even when added to cell culture medium at unreasonably high concentrations. The C6 cell mitogenic activity of crude submaxillary extracts could be separated into two biologically similar components by either gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, preparative isoelectric focusing in a pH gradient of 3-10, or adsorption to DEAE-cellulose followed by elution with a sodium chloride gradient. One of the active components was acidic in nature and had an apparent molecular weight of 40,000, while the other was near neutral in charge and possessed a molecular weight of approximately 20,000. The relationship between these two C6 cell mitogenic components and the rat submaxillary gland component responsible for stimulating Balb/c-3T3 cell growth in serum-free, factor supplemented medium (McClure et al., 1979, J. Cell Biol. 83:96a) is also discussed.  相似文献

Palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.2) and palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.28) activities from rat liver were investigated. 1. Microsomal and mitochondrial-matrix palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activities had similar pH and temperature optima, although the activities showed different temperature stability. They were inhibited by Pb2+ and Zn2+. The palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activities in microsomal fraction and mitochondrial matrix were differently affected by the addition of Mg2+, Ca2+, Co2+, K+ and Na+ to the reaction mixture. ATP, ADP and NAD+ stimulated the microsomal activity and inhibited the mitochondrial-matrix enzyme. The activity of both the microsomal and mitochondrial-matrix hydrolase enzymes was specific for long-chain fatty acyl-CoA esters (C12-C18), with the highest activity for palmitoyl-CoA. The apparent Km for palmitoyl-CoA was 47 microM for the microsomal enzyme and 17 microM for the mitochondrial-matrix enzyme. 2. The palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase and palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase activities of microsomal fraction had similar pH optima and were stimulated by dithiothreitol, but were affected differently by the addition of Pb2+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Mn2+ and cysteine. The two enzymes had different temperature-sensitivities. 3. The data strongly suggest that palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase and palmitoyl-L-carnitine hydrolase are separate microsomal enzymes, and that the hydrolysis of palmitoyl-CoA in the microsomal fraction and mitochondria matrix was catalysed by two different enzymes.  相似文献

The interaction of palmitoyl-CoA with porcine glucokinase was studied by the gel permeation technique. The finding that glucokinase "bound" up to 60 molecules was unexpected from the specific inhibition of rat glucokinase by long chain acyl-CoA (Tippett & Neet, J. Biol. Chem. (1982) 287, 12839-12845). Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA demonstrated a protein peak without enzyme activity that was eluted earlier than the active enzyme peak, indicating a large molecular weight shift for the inactivated enzyme form and confirming a large number (greater than or equal to 30) of associated palmitoyl-CoA molecules. The binding was also verified by analyzing the absorption characteristics of the inactivated enzyme peak. In the presence of glycerol, the size of the inactivated peak greatly decreased, but the separation between the two peaks remained unchanged. Therefore, the amphiphile bound predominantly to the inactive enzyme and not to the active form, suggesting that the rapid inhibitory interactions between palmitoyl-CoA and glucokinase previously observed are specific. Parallel enzyme activity studies showed that in the time range of the column experiments (4-20 h), both the rat and pig enzyme were greatly inactivated (greater than 90%) in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA (15 microM) in the absence of glycerol. This slow inactivation is different from the immediate specific inhibition previously reported and depends on both enzyme and palmitoyl-CoA concentrations. The presence of up to 20% glycerol slowed this inactivation process. These results demonstrated that even below the critical micelle concentration, partial inactivation of glucokinase occurs in the presence of palmitoyl-CoA over a long period of time.  相似文献

1. On incubation with the isolated rat submaxillary gland plasma membranes, [1-14C]palmitoyl-CoA was incorporated mainly into phosphatidylcholine and hydrolysed to [1-14C]palmitic acid and CoASH. 2. The addition of lysophosphatidylcholine enhanced the incorporation into phosphatidylcholine and lowered the hydrolysis of palmitoyl-CoA markedly. 3. In the presence of lysophosphatidylcholine, palmitoyl-CoA incorporation into phosphatidylcholine was maximum at 0.1 mM palmitoyl-CoA, 0.5 mM lysophosphatidylcholine and between pH 7.0 and 9.0. 4. The incorporation into phosphatidylcholine was stimulated by Na+, K+ and K-, inhibited by Ca2+ and Mg2+ and unaffected by sodium deoxycholate and ATP. 5. Epinephrine inhibited the incorporation of palmitoyl-CoA into phosphatidylcholine in the presence or absence of ATP, the inhibition being more in the presence of ATP than in its absence. Dibutyryl adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate mimicked the inhibitory effect of epinephrine.  相似文献
