Preincubation of rat liver mitochondria with 5,5′-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) (Nbs2) followed by removal of excess reagent by washing the mitochondria with 0.5 mM-reduced glutathione resulted in a desensitization of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) I activity to malonyl-CoA inhibition. The effect was not observed if mitochondria were washed with 0.5 mM-dithiothreitol. The desensitization effect of Nbs2 could be reversed by a second incubation in the presence of 8 microM-malonyl-CoA. In addition, malonyl-CoA, when present simultaneously with Nbs2, protected CPT I activity against the desensitization effect of the thiol-group reagent. These results suggest that malonyl-CoA exerts an effect on one or more thiol groups of the enzyme, and that this effect is related to the ability of the metabolite to sensitize CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition.
