Acetyl-CoA carboxylase plays a central role in regulation of fatty acid biosynthesis. Animal acetyl-CoA carboxylase is composed of one kind of subunit with a molecular weight of 260,000, which contains a biotinyl prostheic group. Primary structure of chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase was deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the CDNA. On the basis of the amino acid sequence localization of functional domains including biotin carboxylase, biotin carboxyl carrier protein and carboxyl transferase domains on the polypeptide chain is discussed. Proteolysis of acetyl-CoA carboxylase has been studied and cathepsin L and B were shown to be involved in the initial phase of the degradation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase in lysosomes. Palmitoyl-CoA binds tightly and reversively to acetyl-CoA carboxylase in an equimolar ratio to inhibit the enzyme, suggesting long-chain acyl-CoA is a specific and physiological inhibitor of the enzyme. Chicken liver acetyl-CoA carboxylase is regulated by phosphorylation. Possible phosphorylation sites of the enzyme are discussed.

The study on the action of vitamin E as an antioxidant has been summarized aiming specifically at discussing the mechanism and rate of radical scavenging, relative activities of α-, β-, γ-, and δ-tocopherol, behavior of vitamin E in the membranes, effect of phytyl side chain, synergistic inhibition of oxidation with vitamin C, interaction with iron, and suppression of oxidative hemolysis of erythrocytes.

Although there have been many reports on the precursor of vitamin B_6, the biosynthetic pathway of B_6 has not yet been clearly established. We studied incorporation of L-[U-^<14>C]alanine, [2-^<14>C]pyruvate, [2-^<14>C]acetate, [^<14>C] formate and [2-^<14>C]glycerol into pyridoxine in Flavobacterium sp. No. 238-7. The respective radioactive carbon of alanine, pyruvate, acetate, formate and glycerol was incorporated into pyridoxine with high dilution. These findings suggest that the compounds tested are not the direct precursor and the biosynthetic route in Flavobacterium sp. No. 238-7 is different from that in Escherichia coli.
