General description

Propionyl-CoA is obtained as an end product of isoleucine, valine and methionine catabolism. It is an essential component for the methylaspartate cycle. Branched-chain amino acids and cholesterol also give rise to propionyl-CoA. Propionyl coenzyme A (CoA) is the coenzyme A derivative of propionic acid. Propionyl CoA is formed during the β-oxidation of odd-chain fatty acids.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Propionyl coenzyme A (Propionyl-CoA) may be used to characterize and study propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase complexes found in bacteria. Propionyl-CoA may be used to study the specificity and kinetics of methylisocitrate lyase(s).

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae ICL1 gene encodes isocitrate lyase, an essential enzyme for growth on ethanol and acetate. Previous studies have demonstrated that the highly homologous ICL2 gene (YPR006c) is transcribed during the growth of wild-type cells on ethanol. However, even

Gene duplication represents an evolutionary mechanism for expanding metabolic potential. Here we analysed the evolutionary relatedness of isocitrate and methylisocitrate lyases, which are key enzymes of the glyoxylate and methylcitrate cycle respectively. Phylogenetic analyses imply that ancient eukaryotes acquired an
