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.
Related diseases
[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]
