A yeast sterol carrier protein with fatty-acid and fatty-acyl-CoA binding activity.
The 14-kDa sterol carrier protein 2 (SCP2) domain is present in Eukaria, Bacteria and Archaea, and has been implicated in the transport and metabolism of lipids. We report the cloning, expression, purification and physicochemical characterization of a SCP2 from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica (YLSCP2). Analytical size-exclusion chromatography, circular dichroism and fluorescence spectra, indicate...
متن کاملSterol carrier protein-2 expression alters phospholipid content and fatty acyl composition in L-cell fibroblasts.
The effects sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) expression on L-cell phospholipid levels and fatty acyl composition was assessed using L-cells transfected with the murine cDNA encoding for either the 15 kDa proSCP-2 or 13.2 kDa SCP-2. Expression of these proteins reduced total phospholipid mass (nmol/mg protein) by 24% and reduced the cholesterol to phospholipid ratio 60 and 28%, respectively. In ...
متن کاملMicrosomal long chain fatty acyl-CoA transacylation: differential effect of sterol carrier protein-2.
The recent discovery that sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) binds long chain++ (LCFA-CoA) with high affinity (A. Frolov et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271 (1997) 31878-31884) suggests new possible functions of this protein in LCFA-CoA metabolism. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine whether SCP-2 differentially modulated microsomal LCFA-CoA transacylation to cholesteryl esters, tria...
متن کاملFibroblast membrane sterol kinetic domains: modulation by sterol carrier protein-2 and liver fatty acid binding protein.
The mechanism(s) of intracellular sterol trafficking among subcellular organelle membranes is not well understood. Relative contributions of vesicular, sterol carrier protein, and membrane sterol domain pathways are not resolved. A sterol kinetic assay was used to resolve multiple sterol domains in microsome (MICRO), mitochondria (MITO), and plasma (PM) membrane: exchangeable, 20-40% of total; ...
متن کاملSterol carrier protein-2/sterol carrier protein-x expression differentially alters fatty acid metabolism in L cell fibroblasts.
Sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2) and SCP-x are ubiquitous proteins found in all mammalian tissues. Although both proteins interact with fatty acids, their relative contributions to the uptake, oxidation, and esterification of straight-chain (palmitic) and branched-chain (phytanic) fatty acids in living cells has not been resolved. Therefore, the effects of each gene product on fatty acid metabo...
