Article Abstract
Coenzyme A (CoA) thioesters are formed during anabolic and catabolic reactions in every organism. Degradation pathways of growth-supporting substrates in bacteria can be predicted by differential proteogenomic studies. Direct detection of proposed metabolites such as CoA thioesters by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry can confirm the reaction sequence and demonstrate the activity of these degradation pathways. In the metabolomes of the anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfobacula toluolica Tol2 grown with different substrates various CoA thioesters, derived from amino acid, fatty acid or alcohol metabolism, have been detected. Additionally, the cell extracts of this bacterium revealed a number of CoA analogues with molecular masses increased by 1 dalton. By comparing the chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties of synthetic reference standards with those of compounds detected in cell extracts of D. toluolica Tol2 and by performing co-injection experiments, these analogues were identified as inosino-CoAs. These CoA thioesters contain inosine instead of adenosine as the nucleoside. To the best of our knowledge, this finding represents the first detection of naturally occurring inosino-CoA analogues.

The CoA thioester of 2-(carboxymethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxylic acid has been identified as a metabolite in anaerobic naphthalene degradation by the sulfate-reducing culture N47. This study identified and characterised two acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (ThnO/ThnT) and an intramolecular CoA-transferase (ThnP) encoded within the substrate-induced thn operon, which contains genes for anaerobic degradation of naphthalene. ThnP is a CoA transferase belonging to the family I (Cat 1 subgroup) that catalyses the intramolecular CoA transfer from the carboxyl group of 2-(carboxymethyl)cyclohexane-1-carboxyl-CoA to its carboxymethyl moiety, forming 2-carboxycyclohexylacetyl-CoA.

A baccatin III:3-amino-3-phenylpropanoyltransferase (BAPT, Accession: AY082804) in clade 6 of the BAHD family catalyzed a Mg-dependent transfer of isoserines from their corresponding CoA thioesters. An advanced taxane baccatin III on the paclitaxel biosynthetic pathway in plants was incubated BAPT and phenylisoserine CoA or isobutenylisoserinyl CoA with and without MgCl. BAPT biocatalytically converted baccatin III to its 13--phenylisoserinyl and 3-(1',1'-dimethylvinyl)isoserinyl analogs, an activity that abrogated when Mg ions were omitted.

Bempedoic acid is a new drug that improves the control of cholesterol levels, either as monotherapy or in combination with existing lipid-lowering therapies, and shows clinical efficacy in cardiovascular disease patients. Thus, patients with comorbidities and under multiple therapies may be eligible for bempedoic acid, thus facing the potential problem of drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Bempedoic acid is a prodrug administered orally at a fixed daily dose of 180 mg.

Article Synopsis
- GSTP1 is a versatile protein that helps protect cells from damaging substances, influences cell growth and death, and typically exists in the cytosol but can also associate with other cell compartments like the plasma membrane.
- The study investigates how GSTP1 undergoes palmitoylation, a process where a fatty acid attaches to the protein, and whether this affects its location and function within cells.
- Findings show that GSTP1 is modified by palmitate at multiple sites, including some non-Cys residues, and this modification allows it to exist in both membrane and cytosolic fractions, potentially impacting its various cellular roles.
Characterization of 2-phenanthroate:CoA ligase from the sulfate-reducing, phenanthrene-degrading enrichment culture TRIP.

Unlabelled: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemically stable pollutants that are poorly degraded by microorganisms in anoxic sediments. The anaerobic degradation pathway of PAHs such as phenanthrene starts with a carboxylation reaction forming phenanthroic acid. In this study, we identified and characterized the next enzyme in the pathway, the 2-phenanthroate:CoA ligase involved in the ATP-dependent formation of 2-phenanthroyl-CoA from cell-free extracts of the sulfate-reducing enrichment culture TRIP grown anaerobically with phenanthrene.
