General description

Isovaleryl coenzyme A is an intermediate in leucine catabolism. Iv-CoA is synthesized from β-methylbutyric acid by the action of enzyme acyl CoA synthetase. The conversion of isovaleryl-CoA to methylcrotonyl-CoA is catalyzed by the enzyme isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase in leucine catabolism pathway. The enzyme isovaleryl-CoA oxidase also calalyzes this conversion in fatty acid β-oxidation pathway.

Application

Isovaleryl coenzyme A (IV-CoA ) lithium salt hydrate may be used:
  • as substrate for β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid synthesis in cell-free extracts from G. reessii
  • in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the characterization of IV-CoA from lymphocytes
  • as a substrate in isovaleryl-CoA dehydrogenase assay

Isovaleryl coenzyme A (IV-CoA) is an important building block of iso-fatty acids. In myxobacteria, IV-CoA is essential for the formation of signaling molecules involved in fruiting body formation. Leucine degradation is the common source of IV-CoA, but a second, de

Galactomyces reessii accomplishes the enzymatic transformation of beta-methylbutyric acid (isovaleric acid) to beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyric acid. The enzymatic basis for this bioconversion was evaluated by analyzing cell-free extracts of G. reessii for enzyme activities commonly associated with leucine catabolism. G. reessii extracts

A biosynthetic shunt pathway branching from the mevalonate pathway and providing starter units for branched-chain fatty acid and secondary metabolite biosynthesis has been identified in strains of the myxobacterium Stigmatella aurantiaca. This pathway is upregulated when the branched-chain alpha-keto acid

Isovaleryl-CoA (IV-CoA) is usually derived from the degradation of leucine by using the Bkd (branched-chain keto acid dehydrogenase) complex. We have previously identified an alternative pathway for IV-CoA formation in myxobacteria that branches from the well-known mevalonate-dependent isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway.

Isovaleryl-coenzyme A (IV-CoA) is the starting unit for some secondary metabolites and iso-odd fatty acids in several bacteria. According to textbook biochemistry, IV-CoA is derived from leucine degradation, but recently an alternative pathway that branches from the well-known mevalonate-dependent isoprenoid
