| Abstract | Fatty acid synthesis is traditionally viewed as being confined to the cytosolic cellular fraction, although a substantial body of data indicates that both microsomes and mitochondria are capable of initiating fatty acid synthesis and may contain acetyl-CoA carboxylase [acetyl-CoA:carbon-doxide ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.4.1.2], fatty acid synthetase, and ATP-citrate lyase [ATP citrate (pro-3S)-lyase; ATP:citrate oxaloacetate-lyase (pro-3S-CH2COO- leads to acetyl-CoA; ATP-dephosphorylating), EC 4.1.3.8] activities. We have identified 32P-labeled acetyl-CoA carboxylase and 32P-labeled ATP-citrate lyase by immunoprecipitation of a rat hepatocyte microsomal preparation. In the transition between the fasting state (low rates of lipogenesis) and fasting/re-feeding (high rates), the fraction of total cytosolic plus microsomal acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the microsomes increases from 6% to 43%, whereas the microsomal proportion of total fatty acid synthetase and ATP-citrate lyase remains approximately 10%. Microsome isolation conditions favoring carboxylase polymerization (presence of citrate) promote microsomal association, whereas conditions favoring enzyme protomerization (malonyl-CoA, preincubation with cyclic AMP/ATP/Mg2+) diminish this association. The microsomal enzyme has a 5-fold higher specific activity than the cytosolic enzyme as determined by immunotitration. Sucrose density gradient analysis of the microsomal fraction indicates that a substantial portion of carboxylase activity sediments with marker enzymes for endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, and outer mitochondrial membrane, while cytosolic enzyme or isolated enzyme incubated under polymerizing conditions does not penetrate the gradient. These data suggest that the microsomes may be a significant locus of fatty acid synthesis initiated with association of acetyl-CoA carboxylase polymer with this fraction. |

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.
