Apo-(acetyl-CoA carboxylase) completely free from the holoenzyme was prepared from biotin-deficient rat adipose tissue by using affinity chromatography. The apoenzyme does not aggregate under conditions favouring the transition of the holoenzyme to the polymeric form. Such transition is possible after the conversion of the apoenzyme into the holoenzyme in vitro, thus demonstrating the requirement of the prosthetic biotinyl group for enzyme activation.
通过亲和层析法从生物素缺乏的大鼠脂肪组织中制备出完全不含全酶的脱辅基(乙酰辅酶A羧化酶)。在有利于全酶向聚合形式转变的条件下,脱辅基酶不会聚集。在体外将脱辅基酶转化为全酶后,这种转变是可能的,从而证明了辅基生物素基团对酶激活的必要性。
