This molecule contains a two-carbon group bonded to a beta-mercapto-ethyl-amine group through a high-energy thioester bond.
In plants, haloxyfop and tralkoxydim [tral-COX-ee-dim] inhibit the carboxylase of this molecule. An enzyme that produces this compound is targeted by autoantibodies in a condition in which florid duct lesions contain epithelioid granulomas. In the presence of NADPH, palmitate is generated from this molecule and a derivative of malonic acid through the action of FAS. Each cycle of fatty acid synthesis involves adding this molecule to the growing chain. An enzyme that creates this compound contains (*) E1, E2, and E3 subunits, the last of which regenerates a lipoic acid cofactor. This molecule contains a two-carbon group bonded to a beta-mercapto-ethyl-amine group through a high-energy thioester bond. This molecule is combined with oxaloacetate in the first step of the citric acid cycle. For 10 points, name this molecule that is produced when pyruvate is oxidized after glycolysis.
In plants, haloxyfop and tralkoxydim [tral-COX-ee-dim] inhibit the carboxylase of this molecule.
