Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
bovine serum albumin activates 3fold at 1 mg/ml Synechococcus elongatus
CHAPS activates about by 75% at 0.2%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
Digitonin activates about at 0.1%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
octyl glucoside activates slightly about at 0.2%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
tris(hydroxypropyl)phosphine activates 2fold at 20 mM Synechococcus elongatus

Application

Application Comment Organism
biofuel production long-chain acyl-CoA reductases (ACRs) catalyze a key step in the biosynthesis of hydrocarbon waxes. As such they are attractive as components in engineered metabolic pathways for drop in biofuels. The slow turnover number measured for Synechococcus elongatus ACR poses a challenge for its use in biofuel applications where highly efficient enzymes are needed Synechococcus elongatus

Inhibitors

Inhibitors Comment Organism Structure
CHAPS activates about by 75% at 0.2%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
Digitonin activates about at 0.1%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
dithiothreitol inhibits the enzyme at 5 mM Synechococcus elongatus
glutathione inhibits the enzyme at 5 mM Synechococcus elongatus
iodoacetamide inactivation at 1 mM, stearoyl-CoA protects, probably due to competition between the two reagents for the active site cysteine Synechococcus elongatus
additional information once acylated by stearoyl-CoA the enzyme is protected from inactivation by iodoacetamide and the cACR activity remains unchanged Synechococcus elongatus
octyl glucoside activates slightly about at 0.2%, inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus
Triton inhibitory at above 0.5% Synechococcus elongatus

Metals/Ions

Metals/Ions Comment Organism Structure
Ca2+ activates, inhibitory as it causes precipitation of the acyl-CoA substrate at 5 mM Synechococcus elongatus
K+ activates about 10fold Synechococcus elongatus
Mg2+ best activating divalent cation Synechococcus elongatus
Mn2+ activates, inhibitory as it causes precipitation of the acyl-CoA substrate at 2 mM Synechococcus elongatus
additional information ACR requires divalent metal ions for activity. 2-mercaptoethanol and Na+ have no effect on activity Synechococcus elongatus

additional information the enzyme cACR is specific for NADPH and specifically catalyzes the reduction of fatty acyl-CoA esters to the corresponding aldehydes, rather than alcohols. Stearoyl-CoA is the most effective substrate, being reduced more rapidly than either longer or shorter chain acyl-CoAs. The enzyme is acylated on incubation with stearoyl-CoA, suggesting that the reduction occurs through an enzyme-thioester intermediate, cf. EC 1.2.1.50, formation of an acyl thioester on an active site cysteinyl residue as an intermediate in the mechanism of reduction. No activity with octanoyl-CoA Synechococcus elongatus ?

stearoyl-CoA + NADPH best substrate. When the enzyme is incubated with both stearoyl-CoA and NADPH, the acyl-enzyme accumulates to comprise about 50% of the enzyme. This observation suggests that the rates of acylation and reduction are approximately the same Synechococcus elongatus octadecanal + CoA + NADP+
