Abstract excerpt
ATP citrate lyase (ACL) catalyzes an ATP-dependent biosynthetic reaction which produces acetyl-coenzyme A and oxaloacetate from citrate and coenzyme A (CoA). Studies were performed with recombinant human ACL to ascertain the nature of the catalytic phosphorylation that initiates the ACL reaction and the identity of the active site residues involved. Inactivation of ACL by treatment with diethylpyrocarbonate...
