Essential Biochemistry 5th Edition Charlotte W. Pratt | Kathleen Cornely Lipid Metabolism II Chapter 17  Objectives Describe the steps in fatty acid degradation Even-numbered carbon fatty acids Odd-number carbon fatty acids Unsaturated fatty acids  Fatty acid degradation aka -oxidation of fatty acids © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Triacylglycerols are the primary source of fatty acids. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Fatty acids are activated before they are degraded. Activated fatty acids are acylated to CoA. Reaction is driven by ATP hydrolysis. 2 ATP equivalents are used Fatty acylCoA synthetase © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.  β Oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix Acyl groups are transferred via carnitine. © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. Each round of β oxidation has four reactions. Acyl-CoA is degraded into acetyl-CoA. Let’s look at the reactions of b oxidation more© 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

O H3C CH2 C SCoA Propionyl CoA ATP + CO2 Methylmalonyl mutase requires ADP + Pi cobalamine O - OOC CH C SCoA CH3 Methylmalonyl CoA Methylmalonyl mutase O O O - OOC H2C CH2 C SCoA H3C C COO- H3C C SCoA Succinyl CoA Pyruvate Acetyl CoA TCA Cycle TCA Cycle (anaplerotic) © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
