Abstract
Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I in rat liver mitochondria preincubated with malonyl-CoA was more sensitive to inhibition by malonyl-CoA than was the enzyme in mitochondria preincubated in the absence of malonyl-CoA. For carnitine palmitoyltransferase I in mitochondria from starved animals this increase also resulted in the enzyme becoming significantly more sensitive than that in mitochondria assayed immediately after their isolation. Concentrations of malonyl-CoA that induced half the maximal degree of sensitization observed were 1-3 microM.
