Inhibition by palmitoyl CoA of dynein ATPase from sea urchin spermatozoa.
ATPase of 14S dynein, extracted from spermatozoa of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus, and partially purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation, was inhibited non-competitively by palmitoyl CoA at concentrations higher than 20 microns, and was stimulated at concentrations between 2 microns and 10 microns. The effects of palmitoyl CoA on dynein ATPase were reversed by bovine serum albumin (1 mg/ml) and spermine (0.1 and 1 mM). Myristoyl CoA exerted effects similar to those of palmitoyl CoA. Short chain fatty acyl CoAs, such as butyryl CoA, propionyl CoA and acetyl CoA, CoA, Na-palmitate, Na-myristate, and palmitoyl carnitine had hardly any effect on dynein ATPase. Palmitoyl CoA failed to inhibit purified CF1 ATPase from chloroplasts of spinach, ATPase of rat liver mitochondria and alkaline phosphatase from calf intestine.
