Generated acyl-CoA as a raw material initiates the subsequent metabolism pathway to produce energy or synthesize diverse complex lipids. In addition, acyl-CoA can be deactivated to free FAs and CoA, and this process is mediated by acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOTs).

2020年1月24日 · The main function of acetyl CoA is to deliver the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle to be oxidized for energy production while acyl CoA degrades into acetyl CoA and a new fatty acid with two or fewer carbon molecules by a four-step cycle.

Their acyl-CoA products regulate metabolic enzymes and signaling pathways, become oxidized to provide cellular energy, and are incorporated into acylated proteins and complex lipids such as triacylglycerol, phospholipids, and cholesterol esters.

Acyl-CoA formation initiates cellular fatty acid metabolism. Acyl-CoAs are generated by the ligation of a fatty acid to Coenzyme A mediated by a large family of acyl-CoA synthetases (ACS). Conversely, acyl-CoAs can be hydrolyzed by a family of acyl-CoA thioesterases (ACOT).

Acyl-CoA functions as an alternate acyl donor in E. coli and presumably other γ-proteobacteria (Fig. 1). There is no mechanism for forming acyl-CoA from acyl-ACP in E. coli, thus acyl-CoAs are exclusively formed from exogenous fatty acids.

This approach represents a critical advance that enables the direct analysis of the mechanistic relationship between acyl-CoA supply and functional outputs of acyl-CoA metabolism including protein acylation and metabolic pathway activity, which …

This review evaluates the evidence for acyl-CoA partitioning by reviewing experimental data on proteins that are believed to contribute to acyl-CoA channeling, the metabolic consequences of loss of these proteins, and the potential role of maladaptive acyl-CoA partitioning in the pathogenesis of metabolic disease and carcinogenesis.

Acyl-CoA analysis plays a critical role in understanding the effects of nutrition and dietary interventions on cellular metabolism. Researchers can assess changes in acyl-CoA profiles in response to different dietary components, such as fats, carbohydrates, or specific nutrients.

2024年9月24日 · The major acyl donor, acyl-CoA, enables modifications that impart distinct biological functions to both histone and non-histone proteins. These modifications are crucial for regulating gene expression, organizing chromatin, managing metabolism, and modulating the immune response.
