Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Oct-2-en-4-ynoyl-CoA was found to be a specific inhibitor of acyl-CoA oxidase in fatty acid oxidation in peroxisomes that has no inhibitory effect on acyl-CoA dehydrogenase in mitochondria. The inhibition reaction involves a nucleophilic attack of Glu421 to the δ carbon of the inhibitor. The result indicates that acyl-CoA oxidase and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase have certain differences in active-site structure, which makes it possible to control fatty acid oxidation selectively in either mitochondria or peroxisomes with different enzyme inhibitors. © 2008 American Chemical Society.
