Abstract

In vitro synthesis of general acyl CoA dehydrogenase [EC 1.3.99.3], one of the mitochondrial flavoenzymes, was carried out to elucidate its biosynthetic mechanism. Poly(A)+ RNA isolated from pig kidney was translated invitro using wheat germ lysate system and the synthesized enzyme was immunoprecipitated by the antibody against purified pig kidney general acyl CoA dehydrogenase. The apparent molecular weight of the synthesized protein was estimated to be approximately 1,000 daltons larger than that of the mature enzyme, indicating that general acyl CoA dehydrogenase in pig kidney is synthesized as a precursor with a larger molecular weight.
