Ketone body synthesis occurs only in the mitochondrial matrix. The reactions responsible for the formation of ketone bodies are shown in Figure 24.28. The first reaction—the condensation of two molecules of acetyl-CoA to form acetoacetyl-CoA—is catalyzed by thiolase, which is also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase or acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase. This is the same enzyme that carries out the thiolase reaction in /3-oxidation, but here it runs in reverse. The second reaction adds another molecule of acetyl-CoA to give (i-hydroxy-(i-methyl-glutaryl-CoA, commonly abbreviated HMG-CoA. These two mitochondrial matrix reactions are analogous to the first two steps in cholesterol biosynthesis, a cytosolic process, as we shall see in Chapter 25. HMG-CoA is converted to acetoacetate and acetyl-CoA by the action of HMG-CoA lyase in a mixed aldol-Claisen ester cleavage reaction. This reaction is mechanistically similar to the reverse of the citrate synthase reaction in the TCA cycle. A membrane-bound enzyme, /3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, then can reduce acetoacetate to /3-hydroxybutyrate.

Materials. Egg phosphatidylcholine (PC), bovine brain phosphatidylserine (PS) were obtained from Avanti Polar Lipids Inc. (Birmingham, AL) and cholesterol was from Sigma (St. Louis, MO). Ganglioside GMj, bovine, was obtained from Calbiochem (San Diego, CA). Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid distearylamide complex (DPTA-SA) was synthesized according to ref. 17 and nlIn-DTPA-SA was prepared as described (7). This lipophilic radiolabel is not transferred to the serum components from liposomes (unpublished data), nor is it rapidly metabolized in vivo (7). The synthesis of N-(glutaryl)phosphatidylethanolamine(NGPE) has been described (18). Dipalmitoyl deoxyfluorouridine(dpFUdR) was synthesized as described (24). 

Isoprenoids or terpenoids are a large class of naturally occurring organic compounds with tremendous chemical and structural diversity. They are organic materials produced in the HMG-CoA (3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA) reductase pathway... 

L, loading module DH, dehydratase KS, p-ketosynthase KR, ketoreductase MT methyltransferase PS, pyran synthase DHh and KRh are DH and KR-like sequences, together with the FkbH domain, they are involved in the formation of D-lactate starter unit HMG-CS, hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl CoA synthase. Acyl-carrier-protein domains are shown as small filled balls with chain attached by the thiol group. The box shows the HMG-CS pathway for the formation of exocyclic enoate.

Glutaryl dichloride undergoes reduction at mercury to give 5-chlorovalerolactone and valerolactone a polymeric solid, possibly X[(CH2)3CHCl-0-C=0] (CH2)3X (whereX = CHO or CO2H), is additionally produced [73]. Heptanoyl chloride [71], trimethylacetyl chloride [74], and cyclo-hexanecarbonyl chloride [75] can be reduced at carbon or mercury cathodes to form the corresponding aldehydes in addition, the anhydride (and sometimes... 

Using N-terminus modified polylysine, we developed a synthesis for an amphiphilic polychelator, A,a-(DTPA-polylysyl)glutaryl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DTPA-PL-NGPE). This polychelator was incorporated into the liposomal membrane and micelle core during liposome or micelle preparation. This system sharply increased the number of chelated Gd atoms attached to a single lipid anchor. This increased the number of bound reporter metal atoms per vesicle and decreased the dosage of an administered...

Chiral 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate esters are important chiral C4-building blocks [43-53]. For example, (i )- and (S)-isomers can be converted to L-car-nitine and the hydroxymethyl glutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitor. Since these compounds are used as pharmaceuticals, a high optical purity is required. A practical enzymatic method for the production of chiral 4-chloro-3-hydroxy-butanoate esters from prochiral carbonyl compounds, i.e.,4-chloroacetoacetate esters, or racemic 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate esters is described.
