title: Saturable binding sites for the coenzyme A ester of nafenopin, a peroxisome proliferator, in rat liver cytosol.
abstract: 1. At least three different molecular weight binding sites exist in rat liver cytosol for nafenopin-CoA, the coenzyme A ester and metabolic product of the carcinogenic peroxisome proliferator nafenopin. No binding sites for the free drug were observed. 2. Polypeptides of 35-40 kDa molecular weight range where no acyl-CoA binding proteins have been previously described bind the highest proportion of nafenopin-CoA (60-70%). Binding is displaceable by the CoA esters of other peroxisome proliferators (ciprofibrate and tibric acid) and also by oleoyl-CoA but by palmitoyl-CoA. Direct binding studies show that 35-40-kDa polypeptides bind oleoyl-CoA but not oleic or palmitic acid, or palmitoyl-CoA. 3. Polypeptides of 10-14 and 65-70 kDa also bind nafenopin-CoA. However, in contrast with 35-40-kDa polypeptides they also bind oleic and palmitic acid as well as their correspondent acyl-CoA thioesters.
