In the final reaction of peroxisomal α-oxidation of 3-methyl-branched fatty acids a 2-hydroxy-3-methylacyl-CoA intermediate is cleaved to formyl-CoA and a hitherto unidentified product. The release of formyl-CoA suggests that the unidentified product may be a fatty aldehyde. When purified rat liver peroxisomes were incubated with 2-hydroxy-3-methylhexadecanoyl-CoA 2-methylpentadecanal was indeed formed...
Trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase and pristanoyl-CoA oxidase, purified from rat liver, both catalyse the desaturation of 2-methyl-branched acyl-CoAs. Upon incubation with the pure isomers of 2-methylpentadecanoyl-CoA, both enzymes acted only on the S-isomer. The R-isomer inhibited trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA oxidase but did not affect pristanoyl-CoA oxidase. The activity of both enzymes was suppressed...
