1. CoA, acetyl-CoA, l-carnitine and acetyl-l-carnitine when added to rat liver mitochondria equilibrate with approximately two-thirds of the total intramitochondrial water. The mitochondrial space calculated to be freely permeable to these solutes was identical with that obtained for sucrose. 2. Acetyl-CoA is rapidly deacylated by rat liver mitochondria at 0 degrees C, and special precautions are required to measure its mitochondrial permeation. 3. Rat liver mitochondria were separated into fractions that correspond to the inner membrane, the outer membrane, and the soluble proteins of the matrix and intermembrane compartment. Soluble enzymes considered to be located in the matrix were citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7), palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.2.2), electron-transferring flavoprotein, medium-chain-length ATP-specific fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.2), l-3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) and 3-keto-acyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.16). Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) is largely associated with the inner-membrane fraction. A long-chain-length ATP-specific fatty acyl-CoA synthetase (EC 6.2.1.3) is associated with the outer-membrane fraction.

To identify genes expressed at intermediate stages of Bacillus subtilis sporulation, we screened for sigma E-dependent promoters. One promoter that we found drives expression of an operon consisting of at least five open reading frames (ORFs). The predicted products of the first three ORFs are very homologous to enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism, including acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) acetyltransferase (thiolase), 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase, and acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, respectively. We showed that the fourth ORF encoded a third isozyme of citrate synthase in B. subtilis. Genetic evidence and primer extension results showed that transcription of this operon is directed by the mother cell compartment-specific sigma factor, sigma E, and so the operon was named mmg (for mother cell metabolic genes). Furthermore, we found that a sequence (mmgO) with homology to a catabolite-responsive element mediates glucose repression of mmg promoter activity during sporulation and that this repression was lost in a ccpA mutant.
