A direct-reading spectrophotometric assay for acyl-CoA oxidase activity is described. The assay is based on the strong absorption at 300 nm of deca-2-trans,4-cis-dienoyl-CoA, the product of oxidation of dec-4-cis-enoyl-CoA. By use of this assay, acetyl-CoA, CoA and FMN were found to be inhibitors of acyl-CoA oxidase, but with distinctly different kinetic characteristics.

The activity of the enzyme acyl-CoA oxidase (EC 1.3.99.3) is influenced by detergents. At concentrations above the critical micellar concentration, Triton X-100, Triton X-114 and Thesit stimulate oxidase activity. Lower concentrations of Triton X-100 and Triton X-114 render the acyl-CoA oxidase less sensitive towards substrate inhibition by palmitoyl-CoA or dec-4-cis-enoyl-CoA. Other detergents inhibited the enzyme activity. CoA was found to be a relatively powerful competitive inhibitor of the enzyme, with a Ki, slope value of 63 +/- 3 microM. This inhibition is dependent on an intact CoA molecule, as dephospho-CoA, dethio-CoA and acetyl-CoA are less potent inhibitors of the enzyme. Dec-2-trans-enoyl-CoA is a product-inhibitor of acyl-CoA oxidase, with a Ki, slope value of 7 +/- 1 microM.

A simple spectrophotometric assay was developed for peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase activity. The assay, based on the H2O2-dependent oxidation of leuco-dichlorofluorescein catalysed by exogenous peroxidase, is more sensitive than methods previously described. By using mouse liver samples, cofactor requirements were assessed and a linear relationship was demonstrated between dye oxidation and enzyme concentration. By using this assay on subcellular fractions, palmitoyl-CoA oxidase activity was localized for the first time in microperoxisomes of rat intestine. The assay was also adapted to measure D-amino acid oxidase activity, demonstrating the versatility of this method for measuring activity of other H2O2-producing oxidases.
