title: Acyl-CoA synthetases in guinea-pig liver mitochondria. Purification and characterization of a distinct propionyl-CoA synthetase.
abstract: Guinea-pig liver mitochondria contain three soluble ATP-dependent acyl-CoA synthetases: (a) a medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, (b) a salicylate activating enzyme, and (c) a propionyl-CoA synthetase. A complete separation of these enzymes has been accomplished and the resulting preparation of propionyl-CoA synthetase (Spec. act. 4 units/mg protein) accepts acetate, propionate and butyrate as substrates with a high preference for propionate.
