Fatty acid structural requirements for activity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase.
We have examined the fatty acid substrate specificity of arachidonoyl-CoA synthetase from human platelet membranes. A variety of positional isomers and chain-length analogs of arachidonic acid [20:4(5, 8, 11, 14)] were synthesized, and assayed for their ability to inhibit arachidonoyl-CoA formation or to serve as substrates for the synthetase. The chain-length specificity of the synthetase for ...
متن کاملElucidating the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fatty Acid Degradation Pathway: Identification of Additional Fatty Acyl-CoA Synthetase Homologues
The fatty acid (FA) degradation pathway of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, was recently shown to be involved in nutrient acquisition during BALB/c mouse lung infection model. The source of FA in the lung is believed to be phosphatidylcholine, the major component of lung surfactant. Previous research indicated that P. aeruginosa has more than two fatty acyl-CoA synthetase gene...
متن کاملThe acyl-CoA synthetase "bubblegum" (lipidosin): further characterization and role in neuronal fatty acid beta-oxidation..
Acyl-CoA synthetases play a pivotal role in fatty acid metabolism, providing activated substrates for fatty acid catabolic and anabolic pathways. Acyl-CoA synthetases comprise numerous proteins with diverse substrate specificities, tissue expression patterns, and subcellular localizations, suggesting that each enzyme directs fatty acids toward a specific metabolic fate. We reported that hBG1, t...
متن کاملFATP2 is a hepatic fatty acid transporter and peroxisomal very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase.
Fatty acid transport protein (FATP)2, a member of the FATP family of fatty acid uptake mediators, has independently been identified as a hepatic peroxisomal very long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase (VLACS). Here we address whether FATP2 is 1) a peroxisomal enzyme, 2) a plasma membrane-associated long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) transporter, or 3) a multifunctional protein. We found that, in mouse livers...
متن کاملFatty acid activation in cyanobacteria mediated by acyl-acyl carrier protein synthetase enables fatty acid recycling.
In cyanobacteria fatty acids destined for lipid synthesis can be synthesized de novo, but also exogenous free fatty acids from the culture medium can be directly incorporated into lipids. Activation of exogenous fatty acids is likely required prior to their utilization. To identify the enzymatic activity responsible for activation we cloned candidate genes from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and Sy...
