  • Publication number: 20240115566
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of identifying subjects in need of treatment for, e.g., a coenzyme A reduction, elevation, sequestration, toxicity, or redistribution (CASTOR) disease such as, for example, defects in fatty acid oxidation enzymes, methylmalonic acidemia, glutaric acidemia, propionic academia, and HMG-CoA lyase, via small molecule modulators of CoA levels. The methods may comprise assessing levels of carnitines, CoA, and/or various metabolites and biomarkers and administration of therapeutics useful in the treatment of CASTOR disorders, metabolic diseases, and/or neurological diseases. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present inventions.

  • Patent number: 6613553
    Abstract: The present provides structurally related enzymes that act as enoyl reductases. These enoyl reductases share a common amino acid consensus sequence, and bind a flavin cofactor. One particular enoyl reductase provided, FabK, catalyzes the identical reaction as the NADH-dependent enoyl-ACP reductase, FabI. Nucleic acids encoding the enoyl reductases, the enoyl reductases, and anitbodies for the enoyl reductases are also included. Methods are also provides for identifying agents that can act to prevent and/or treat bacterial infections.
