title: Role of acyl-CoAs and acyl-CoA-binding protein in regulation of carbon supply for fatty acid biosynthesis.
abstract: Acyl-CoA esters inhibit the plastidial glucose 6-phosphate (Glc-6-P) transporter and the adenylate transporter; the IC(50) values for the inhibition by oleoyl-CoA (18:1-CoA) are 200-400 nM and 1-2 microM respectively. The inhibition of either of these processes significantly reduces the flux of carbon from Glc-6-P or from acetate into long-chain fatty acids. The effect is dependent on the acyl chain length, e.g. lauryl-CoA is less inhibitory than oleoyl-CoA, causing 34 and 68% inhibition respectively of Glc-6-P uptake after 30 s. The inhibition of Glc-6-P and ATP transport is alleviated by addition of an equivalent concentration of acyl-CoA-binding protein (ACBP) or BSA. Acyl-CoAs do not inhibit pyruvate or glucose transporters. The endogenous concentrations of acyl-CoAs and ACBP are similar during embryo maturation.
