Abstract
In vitro perfluorodecanoate (PFDA) effects on Pseudomonas acyl-CoA synthetase, Candida acyl-CoA oxidase and pigeon muscle carnitine acetyltransferase were examined. Synthetase made little PFDA-CoA from PFDA. It used palmitate, oleate, laurate and decanoate more extensively. PFDA inhibited acyl-CoA formation from these acids. Palmitoyl-CoA formation was affected most. That of decanoyl-CoA was affected least. Inhibitions appeared to be competitive. Acyl-CoA oxidase test substrates were palmitoyl-CoA, lauroyl-CoA and decanoyl-CoA. Oxidase preferred C-10 and C-12 acyl-CoAs. PFDA inhibited oxidation of C-10 and C-12 acyl-CoAs more than that of palmitoyl-CoA. Inhibitions with C-16 and C-10 acyl-CoAs were competitive, K 1s 593 ± 150 and 76 ± 6.0 μM. Acetyl-CoA was the best acetyltransferase substrate. C-2 to C-8 transfer from acyl-CoAs was inhibited similarly by PFDA. Inhibitions of C-2 and C-8 transfer were competitive and non-competitive, respectively, K 1s 111 ± 15 and 76 ± 28 μM.
