A fatty acyl coenzyme A synthetase (FadD) from Pseudomonas putida CA-3 is capable of activating a wide range of phenylalkanoic and alkanoic acids. It exhibits the highest rates of reaction and catalytic efficiency with long-chain aromatic and aliphatic substrates. FadD

The limiting role of diacylglycerol acyltransferase with respect to triacylglycerol synthesis in cultured rat hepatocytes was evaluated by following the inhibition of the overall synthetic flux by 2-bromooctanoate acting as an inhibitor of the diacylglycerol acyltransferase step. The flux-control coefficient

The diffusion of H2O2 into the cytoplasm from peroxisomes during high rates of peroxisomal beta oxidation of fatty acids was studied in perfused livers from rats treated with the hepatocarcinogenic peroxisome proliferator, nafenopin. Efflux of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) into the

A number of Pseudomonas strains accumulated polyhdroxyalkanoate (PHA) from a variety of aromatic hydrocarbons. In many strains the level of PHA accumulation was dependent on the side chain length of the phenylalkanoic acid provided for growth. 4 of the 8

Mixed-function oxidation of p-nitroanisole in isolated perfused livers from fasted rats was studied in the presence and absence of 2-bromooctanoate, an inhibitor of the beta-oxidation of acyl CoA compounds. These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that reducing equivalents
