Structural basis of fatty acid substrate binding to cyclooxygenase-2.
The cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) are membrane-associated heme-containing homodimers that generate prostaglandin H(2) from arachidonic acid (AA). Although AA is the preferred substrate, other fatty acids are oxygenated by these enzymes with varying efficiencies. We determined the crystal structures of AA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) bound to Co(3+)-protoporph...
متن کاملAdipocytes promote cholangiocarcinoma metastasis through fatty acid binding protein 4
BACKGROUND The early occurrence regional nodal and distant metastases cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is one of the major reasons for its poor prognosis. However, the related mechanisms are largely elusive. Recently, increasing evidences indicate that adipocytes might be involved in the proliferation, homing, migration and invasion of several malignancies. In the present study, we attempt to determine...
متن کاملStructural and multifunctional properties of cardiac fatty acid-binding protein: from fatty acid binding to cell growth inhibition.
Introduction The cardiac fatty acid-binding protein is one type of a family of nonenzymic proteins [ I , 21 that bind hydrophobic ligands. The localization of these fatty acid-binding proteins (FAHPs) is mainly cytosolic kvith concentrations up to 5% 13 I of soluble proteins. A closer inspection of the subcellular distribution by means of immunohistochemical methods and e.1.i.s.a. [ 41, however...
متن کاملEnterocyte fatty acid uptake and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein.
This article reviews our current understanding of the uptake of fatty acids by the enterocytes of the intestine. The micellar solubilization of fatty acids by bile salts and the factors regulating that process are discussed. The mechanism of how micellar solubilization of fatty acids promotes the uptake of fatty acids by enterocytes and their relative importance is reviewed. Additionally, discu...
متن کاملFatty acid-binding protein from embryonic chick retina resembles mammalian heart fatty acid-binding protein.
PURPOSE Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABP) make up a family of cytosolic proteins of unknown function found in many tissues, including the embryonic chick retina. To further understand its function in the developing retina, the protein from embryonic chicks was purified and characterized. The tissue distribution of this protein in embryonic and hatched chicks was determined using polyclonal ant...
