| Abstract | 1. Pent-4-enoyl-CoA and its metabolites penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA and acryloyl-CoA, as well as n-pentanoyl-CoA, cyclopropanecarbonyl-CoA and cyclobutanecarbonyl-CoA, were examined as substrates or inhibitors of purified enzymes of β-oxidation in an investigation to locate the site of inhibition of fatty acid oxidation by pent-4-enoate. 2. The reactions of various acyl-CoA derivatives with l-carnitine and of various acyl-l-carnitine derivatives with CoA, catalysed by carnitine acetyltransferase, were investigated and V max. and Km values were determined. Pent-4-enoyl-CoA and n-pentanoyl-CoA were good substrates, whereas cyclobutanecarbonyl-CoA, cyclopropanecarbonyl-CoA and acryloyl-CoA reacted more slowly. A very slow rate with penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA was detected. Pent-4-enoyl-l-carnitine, n-pentanoyl-l-carnitine and cyclobutanecarbonyl-l-carnitine were good substrates and cyclopropanecarbonyl-l-carnitine reacted more slowly. 3. Pent-4-enoyl-CoA and n-pentanoyl-CoA were substrates for butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase and for octanoyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and both compounds were equally effective competitive inhibitors of these enzymes with butyryl-CoA or palmitoyl-CoA respectively as substrates. V max., Km and Ki values were determined. 4. None of the acyl-CoA derivatives inhibited enoyl-CoA hydratase or 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase. Penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA was a substrate for enoyl-CoA hydratase when the reaction was coupled to that catalysed by 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase. 5. In a reconstituted sequence with purified enzymes crotonoyl-CoA was largely converted into acetyl-CoA, and pent-2-enoyl-CoA into acetyl-CoA and propionyl-CoA. Penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA was slowly converted into acetyl-CoA and acryloyl-CoA. 6. Penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA, a unique metabolite of pent-4-enoate, was the only compound that specifically inhibited an enzyme of the β-oxidation sequence, 3-oxoacyl-CoA thiolase. The formation of penta-2,4-dienoyl-CoA could explain the strong inhibition of fatty acid oxidation in intact mitochondria by pent-4-enoate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
