  • Title: Malonyl CoA inhibition of carnitine palmityltransferase in rat heart mitochondria.
    Author: Paulson DJ, Ward KM, Shug AL.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1984 Oct 29; 176(2):381-4. PubMed ID: 6489524.
    Abstract:
    The effects of malonyl CoA on carnitine palmityltransferase I (CPT-I), fatty acid-supported state 3 respiration, and carnitine reversal of palmityl CoA inhibition of state 3 respiration and of the adenine nucleotide translocator, were studied in isolated rat heart mitochondria. Malonyl CoA was a potent competitive inhibitor of CPT-I with an I50 of 0.8 microM. Fasting did not affect CPT-I activity or the I50 value of malonyl CoA. Malonyl CoA inhibited fatty acid-supported respiration and prevented carnitine from reversing the inhibition of the adenine nucleotide translocator by palmityl CoA. These findings suggest that malonyl CoA may affect fatty acid oxidation in the heart.
