Abstract

Induction of beta-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (MCCase) activity was observed during carbohydrate starvation in sycamore cells. In mitochondria isolated from starved cells, we noticed a marked accumulation of the biotinylated subunit of MCCase, of which the apparent molecular weight of 7400...
