A Molecular Caliper Mechanism for Determining Very Long-Chain Fatty Acid Length
Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are essential lipids whose functional diversity is enabled by variation in their chain length. The full VLCFA biosynthetic machinery and how this machinery generates structural diversity remain elusive. Proteoliposomes reconstituted here from purified membrane components-an elongase protein (Elop), a novel dehydratase, and two reductases-catalyzed repeated r...
متن کاملPlasmalogens participate in very-long-chain fatty acid-induced pathology.
Peroxisomes are organelles responsible for multiple metabolic pathways including, the biosynthesis of plasmalogens, a class of phospholipids, and the beta-oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA). Lack of peroxisomes or dysfunction in any of their normal functions is the cellular basis for human peroxisomal disorders. Here we used mouse models to understand and define the biochemical an...
متن کاملLong-chain fatty acid determination
You, J., X. Zhao, Y. Suo, Y. Li, H. Wang, and G. Chen, Determination of LongChain Fatty Acids in Bryophyte Plant Extracts by HPLC with Fluorescence Detection and Identification with MS, J. Chromatogr. B 848:283–291, 2007. A sensitive method has been developed for the determination of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) (>C20) using 1-[2-(ptoluenesulfonate)-ethyl]-2-phenylimidazole-[4,5-f]-9,10-phena...
متن کاملVery long-chain fatty tails for enhanced transfection.
The long chain saturated fatty acids, arachidic (C20) and lignoceric (C24), are found as components of phospholipids within mammalian cellular membranes. Although these lipids have rarely been used as components of transfection reagents, we recently demonstrated that elongation of the fatty tail beyond C18 provide a means of increasing the transfection efficiency of cationic lipids. To investig...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for production of very long chain fatty acid-derived chemicals
Production of chemicals and biofuels through microbial fermentation is an economical and sustainable alternative for traditional chemical synthesis. Here we present the construction of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae platform strain for high-level production of very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA)-derived chemicals. Through rewiring the native fatty acid elongation system and implementing a heterologo...
