The microsomal dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase

Abstract: Dicarboxylic acids are products of the omega-oxidation of monocarboxylic acids. We demonstrate that in rat liver dicarboxylic acids (C5-C16) can be converted into their CoA esters by a dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase. During this activation ATP, which cannot be replaced by GTP, is converted into AMP and PPi, both acting as feedback inhibitors of the reaction. Thermolabile at 37 degrees C, and optimally active at pH 6.5, dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase displays the highest activity on dodecanedioic acid (2 micromol/min… Show more

“…The use of a KO mouse model revealed a similar picture with defi cient C14-DCA oxidation in hepatocytes devoid of Pex5 ( 17 ). Before peroxisomal ␤ -oxidation, long-chain DCAs are activated to their CoA ester by a microsomal acyl-CoA synthetase ( 42,43 ), the molecular identity of which is unknown. Acsl1, which is present in the gene coexpression subnetwork, is a candidate gene for this function ( 44 ).…”

“…By analogy, one might mention, here, the formation of a glutaconoyl moiety in the unesterified form from glutaric acid, a pathway which proceeds according to a parallel sequence of reactions: i.e. successive involvements of microsomal dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase [30] and peroxisomal glutaryl-CoA oxidase [20,21].…”

“…Fatty acids are first converted into -hydroxymonocarboxylic acids by a microsomal cytochrome P450 and then further oxidized to -ketomonocarboxylic acids and finally DCAs through the sequential action of cytosolic long-chain alcohol and aldehyde dehydrogenases. After activation by a dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase present in microsomes, at least in rat liver (1), the dicarboxylyl-CoA esters are shortened via ␤ -oxidation ( Fig. 1 ).…”
