Fatty acid oxidation occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. However, long-chain fatty acyl-CoA molecules cannot cross the inner membrane to enter the matrix. The carnitine shuttle system transfers the acyl group from CoA to carnitine, which can enter the mitochondrial matrix.
 
Label the enzymes and compounds of the carnitine shuttle system. The following enzyme abbreviations are used: carnitine acyltransferase I, CAT1; mitochondrial carnitine acyltransferase II, CAT2; and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase (carnitine carrier protein), CAT.

  • SELECT ALL THAT IS/ARE CORRECT: Why is the carnitine shuttle necessary for oxidation of fatty acids?...

    SELECT ALL THAT IS/ARE CORRECT: Why is the carnitine shuttle necessary for oxidation of fatty acids? A.Because the lipid bilayer may confuse the incoming fatty acids as part of the membrane. Without the carnitine shuttle, the lipid bilayer may incorporate the fatty acids into the membrane instead of breaking it down via oxidation. B.Because fatty acids cannot directly pass through the mitochondrial membranes. C.Because fatty acids must be "tenderized" - i.e., multiple functional groups are added in order to facilitate...

    Starting with Acetyl-CoA in the mitochondrial matrix, show how a molecule of acetyl-CoA may get incorporated into a molecule of phosphatyidylserine in the plasma membrane. You should summarize the pathways involved into the critical steps involved. You do NOT need to show every reaction and/or enzyme. You can present your summarizing note in any form like a table, diagram, or outline, do NOT describe it in just words. Your pathway should have a minimum of six steps. Label at least...

    How do FAs of different carbon lengths cross into the mitochondrial matrix for oxidation? 1) Small FAs of 10 carbons or fewer can freely diffuse through the membrane. 2) Large FAs are cleaved into two smaller units that are actively transported across the membrane. 3) A membrane-bound transferase catalyzes the conversion of long-chain FAs to FA-carnitine esters, which are transported across the membrane via a specific carrier. 4) The breakdown of large FAs starts outside the matrix, allowing for smaller...
