• Substrate specificities of rat liver peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidases: palmitoyl-CoA oxidase (inducible acyl-CoA oxidase), pristanoyl-CoA oxidase (non-inducible acyl-CoA oxidase), and trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase.

  Rat liver peroxisomes contain three acyl-CoA oxidases:palmitoyl-CoA oxidase, pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, and trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase. The three oxidases were separated by anion-exchange chromatography of a partially purified oxidase preparation, and the column eluate was analyzed for oxidase activity with different acyl-CoAs. Short chain mono (hexanoyl-) and dicarboxylyl (glutaryl-)-CoAs and prostaglandin E2-CoA were oxidized exclusively by palmitoyl-CoA oxidase. Long chain mono (palmitoyl-) and dicarboxylyl (hexadecanedioyl-)-CoAs were oxidized by palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, the former enzyme catalyzing approximately 70% of the total eluate activity. The very long chain lignoceroyl-CoA was also oxidized by palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, the latter enzyme catalyzing approximately 65% of the total eluate activity. Long chain 2-methyl branched acyl-CoAs (2-methylpalmitoyl-CoA and pristanoyl-CoA) were oxidized for approximately 90% by pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, the remaining activity being catalyzed by trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase. The short chain 2-methylhexanoyl-CoA was oxidized by trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase and pristanoyl-CoA oxidase (approximately 60 and 40%, respectively, of the total eluate activity). Trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA was oxidized exclusively by trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase. No oxidase activity was found with isovaleryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA. Substrate dependences of palmitoyl-CoA oxidase and pristanoyl-CoA oxidase were very similar when assayed with the same (common) substrate. Since the two oxidases were purified to a similar extent and with a similar yield, the contribution of each enzyme to substrate oxidation in the column eluate probably reflects its contribution in the intact liver. << Less

• Rat liver metabolism of dicarboxylic acids.

  Vamecq J., Draye J.P., Brison J.

  Recently, we demonstrated in rat liver that dicarboxylic acids containing more than five carbons can be activated by a microsomal dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase (J. Vamecq, E. de Hoffmann, and F. Van Hoof. Biochem. J. 230: 683-693, 1985). The products of this reaction, dicarboxylyl-CoA esters, were f ... >> More

  Recently, we demonstrated in rat liver that dicarboxylic acids containing more than five carbons can be activated by a microsomal dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase (J. Vamecq, E. de Hoffmann, and F. Van Hoof. Biochem. J. 230: 683-693, 1985). The products of this reaction, dicarboxylyl-CoA esters, were found to be substrates for an H2O2-generating dicarboxylyl-CoA oxidase. In the present work we report that 1) the catalytic center or the essential domains of dicarboxylyl-CoA synthetase are located at the cytosolic aspect of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane; 2) dicarboxylyl-CoA oxidase is optimally active on dodecanedioyl-CoA and is a peroxisomal enzyme; 3) cyanide-insensitive dodecanedioyl-CoA oxidation (NADH production) is catalyzed by rat liver homogenates. Cell fractionation studies disclose that, similar to dodecanedioyl-CoA oxidase (H2O2 production), the cyanide-insensitive dodecanedioyl-CoA oxidizing activity also belongs to peroxisomes; 4) a dodecanedioyl-CoA oxidoreductase reaction can be assayed by the dichlorphenolindophenol procedure in rat liver homogenates, and the activity is abundant in peroxisomal, mitochondrial, and soluble fractions; 5) by contrast with monocarboxylyl-CoA esters, the dicarboxylyl-CoAs are apparently not substrates for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation; however, the use of dicarboxylylcarnitine esters as direct substrate for mitochondria suggests the existence of an active beta-oxidation of dicarboxylates in these organelles, which is further confirmed by experiments in which mitochondria are permeabilized with digitonin; 6) the in vivo oxidation of infused dodecanedioic acid results in a rapid appearance in urine of medium-chain dicarboxylic acids, with only 30-50% of the infused dose recovered in urine. << Less
