Malonyl-CoAis acoenzyme Aderivative ofmalonic acid.

Functions

[edit]

It plays a key role in chain elongation infatty acid biosynthesisandpolyketidebiosynthesis.

Cytosolic fatty acid biosynthesis

[edit]

Malonyl-CoA provides 2-carbon units to fatty acids and commits them to fatty acid chain synthesis.

Malonyl-CoA is formed by carboxylatingacetyl-CoAusing the enzymeacetyl-CoA carboxylase.One molecule of acetyl-CoA joins with a molecule ofbicarbonate,[1]requiring energy rendered fromATP.

Malonyl-CoA is utilised in fatty acid biosynthesis by the enzymemalonyl coenzyme A:acyl carrier protein transacylase(MCAT). MCAT serves to transfermalonatefrom malonyl-CoA to the terminalthiolofholo-acyl carrier protein(ACP).

Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis

[edit]

Malonyl-CoA is formed in the first step ofmitochondrialfatty acid synthesis (mtFASII) frommalonic acidby malonyl-CoA synthetase (ACSF3).[2][3]

Polyketide biosynthesis

[edit]

MCAT is also involved in bacterialpolyketidebiosynthesis. The enzyme MCAT together with an acyl carrier protein (ACP), and apolyketide synthase(PKS) and chain-length factor heterodimer, constitutes the minimal PKS of type II polyketides.

Regulation

[edit]

Malonyl-CoA is a highly regulated molecule in fatty acid synthesis; as such, it inhibits the rate-limiting step inbeta-oxidationof fatty acids. Malonyl-CoA inhibitsfatty acidsfrom associating withcarnitineby regulating the enzymecarnitine acyltransferase,thereby preventing them from entering themitochondria,wherefatty acid oxidationand degradation occur.

[edit]

Malonyl-CoA plays a special role in the mitochondrial clearance of toxic malonic acid in the metabolic disordercombined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria(CMAMMA).[4]In CMAMMA due to ACSF3, malonyl-CoA synthetase is decreased, which can generate malonyl-CoA from malonic acid, which can then be converted to acetyl-CoA bymalonyl-CoA decarboxylase.[2][4]In contrast, in CMAMMA due tomalonyl-CoA decarboxylase deficiency,malonyl-CoA decarboxylase is decreased, which converts malonyl-CoA to acetyl-CoA.[4]
