title: Conferral of malonyl coenzyme A sensitivity to purified rat heart mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase.
abstract: An immunoaffinity column against the 86-kDa malonyl-CoA-binding protein of beef heart mitochondria was prepared, and the properties of the eluates were compared to those of eluates of an anti-carnitine palmitoyltransferase immunoaffinity column. Both eluates contain seven to eight major proteins with a malonyl-CoA-binding capacity of approximately 5 nmol/mg of protein; in contrast, the eluates from a preimmune IgG column did not contain any of the major proteins. The eluates from both immunoaffinity columns conferred malonyl-CoA sensitivity to purified rat heart mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPTi/CPT-II). Addition of phospholipids increased the degree of malonyl-CoA inhibition. Doubling the amount of column eluate approximately doubled the malonyl-CoA sensitivity when added to a fixed amount of CPT; i.e., the inhibition increased from 32 to 67%. These results show that CPTi/CPT-II is capable of exhibiting malonyl-CoA sensitivity in the presence of malonyl-CoA-binding proteins. The results do not support the concept that the 86-kDa malonyl-CoA-binding protein is detergent-inactivated carnitine palmitoyltransferase I;rather, they suggest that it is a regulatory subunit of a carnitine palmitoyltransferase complex.
