Abstract

Biochemical properties of cytochrome b5-dependent microsomal fatty acid elongation and identification of products.

Highlights

  • In the presence of malonyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA in- the general outline of microsomal elongation has corporation measured under various conditions was demonstrated, providing further evidence in support of our hypothesis

  • We found that the rate of bs reoxidation increased in the presence of malonyl-CoA plus ATP and that malonyl-CoA incorporation was inhibited by ananti-cytochrome b5 IgG

  • When using [1,3-’4C]malonylCoA for incorporation experiments, it was noticed that a substantial amount of radioactivity was extracted, if NADH was omitted from the reaction

Summary

Liver Microsomal Fatty Acid Elongation

M sucrose and by Ca2+precipitation (15).The final microsomal pellet was resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HC1, pH 7.4, containing 0.15 M KCl. Measurement of Cytochrome bg Reoxidation Rates-The reaction mixture used for measuring cytochrome b5 reoxidation rates in a spectrophotometric cuvette consisted of the following components (fial concentration): 100 m Tris-HC1, pH 7.4, 2 p~ rotenone, 500
