title: Decreased dissociation of the 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase complex from Achromobacter in the presence of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. A possible regulatory mechanism for the intracellular degradation of the enzyme.
abstract: By inactivation of different concentrations of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase from Achromobacter IVS with a fixed concentration of iodoacetamide, it was demonstrated that the degree of dissociation of the complex is considerably lower in the presence of 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA. ATP did not produce this effect. This property could serve to regulate the intracellular degradation of the enzyme, if the dissociated subunits were attacked preferentially.
