    Formation of lactyl-coenzyme A and pyruvyl-coenzyme A from lactic acid by Escherichia coli.

    Abstract

    Megraw, Robert E. (Albert Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, Pa.), Henry C. Reeves, and Samuel J. Ajl. Formation of lactyl-coenzyme A and pyruvyl-coenzyme A from lactic acid by Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 90:984-988. 1965.-Cell extracts of propionate-adapted Escherichia coli were found to contain a lactyl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase which catalyzes the formation of the CoA thiolester from lactate, CoA, and cofactors. The extracts also catalyzed the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent oxidation of lactyl-CoA. The product of this oxidation was identified chromatographically as pyruvyl-CoA.
