What changes in fatty acid metabolism would result from a mutation in the muscle carnitine acyltransferase I in which the mutant protein has lost its affinity for malonyl-CoA but not its catalytic activity?

A. Fatty acid synthesis in the mitochondria and fatty acid oxidation in the cytosol could occur simultaneously.
B. Fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and fatty acid oxidation in the mitochondria could occur simultaneously.
C. Synthesis of malonyl carnitine could only occur at high malonyl-CoA concentration.
D. Synthesis of malonyl-CoA would no longer be inhibited carnitine.

Explanation:

Carnitine acyltransferase I, is a mitochodrial enzyme also known as Carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1).

The acyl group is transferred to carnitine by the cytoplasmic form of the enzyme by Carnitine acyltransferase I

Malonyl coA would no longer inhibit fatty acid entry into the mitochondrion and beta oxidation, so there might be a futile cycle of simultaneous fatty acid synthesis in the cytosol and fatty acid breakdown in mitochondria.

raits that your monster will have. the dna code for each trait is given, so you will need to go through the process of transcription and translation to determine what protein is being made and then match that with the corresponding trait. you may even include a picture of your monster if you are feeling creati
