Genome analysis of Entamoeba histolytica predicts the presence of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Using Western blot, histochemistry, and confocal microscopy, we demonstrated the presence of a biotin-containing protein in the cytoplasm of E. histolytica, with a molecular weight of 136 kDa and biotin-carboxylase activity. This protein probably corresponds to a transcarboxylase that catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction leading to fatty acid elongation.
对溶组织内阿米巴的基因组分析预测了乙酰辅酶 A 羧化酶的存在。通过 Western blot、组织化学和共聚焦显微镜,我们证明了溶组织内阿米巴细胞质中存在一种含有生物素的蛋白质,分子量为 136 kDa,具有生物素羧化酶活性。该蛋白可能对应一种转羧酶,它催化限速反应,导致脂肪酸延长。
