Disease relevance of ECs2514

  • From the E. coli transformant, AcsA was purified to homogeneity and characterized [1].
  • The soluble acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase of Vibrio harveyi B392 is a member of the medium chain acyl-CoA synthetase family [2].
  • Surprisingly, the sequence of the encoded protein was significantly more similar to that of an acyl-CoA synthetase of the distantly related bacterium, Thermus thermophilus, than to that of the membrane-bound acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase of E. coli, an enzyme that catalyzes the same reaction from a more closely related organism [2].
  • However, the deduced amino acid sequence of ferA did show 31% identity with pimeloyl-CoA synthetase of Pseudomonas mendocina 35, which has been classified as a new superfamily of acyl-CoA synthetase (ADP forming) with succinyl-CoA synthetase (L. B. Sánchez, M. Y. Galperin, and M. Müller, J. Biol. Chem. 275:5794-5803, 2000) [3].

Associations of ECs2514 with chemical compounds

  • The activities of aldoxime dehydratase, NHase, and amidase were detected together with that of acyl-CoA synthetase under the culture conditions used [1].
  • The uptake of fatty acid in the presence of non-limiting amounts of ATP and CoASH was dependent on the amount of endogenous fatty acyl-CoA synthetase either retained within vesicles during isolation or trapped within vesicles after isolation by freeze-thawing [5].
  • Affinity labeling fatty acyl-CoA synthetase with 9-p-azidophenoxy nonanoic acid and the identification of the fatty acid-binding site [14].
  • The predominant route originates with the activation of fatty acids by acyl-CoA synthetase followed by the distribution of the acyl moieties into all phospholipid classes via the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase reaction [15].
  • The remaining portions of octanoic acids isolated from the incubation mixtures were converted to their CoA esters by the action of acyl-CoA synthetase, and they were dehydrogenated by treatment with acyl-CoA oxidase, which had previously been shown to catalyze the anti-elimination of the pro-2R and pro-3R hydrogen atoms of acyl-CoA [16].
