All are Characteristic of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase EXCEPT

Question

All are characteristic of acetyl-CoA carboxylase EXCEPT:
A) allosteric inhibition by palmitoyl-CoA.
B) biotin carboxylase and transcarboxylase subunits.
C) biotin carboxyl carrier protein subunits.
D) citrate shifts the enzyme toward the active polymer.
E) all are correct.

Accepted Answer

All of the options are characteristic of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Allosteric inhibition by palmitoyl-CoA, biotin carboxylase and transcarboxylase subunits, biotin carboxyl carrier protein subunits, and citrate shifting the enzyme toward the active polymer are all important features of this enzyme.
