Fatty Acyl-CoA Reductase 1 Deficiency
نویسنده
چکیده
Investigators from Erlangen, Germany; Calgary, CA; and Kafranbel, Syria, identified mutations in the gene, fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1 (FAR1) deficiency, adding to three other genes involved in plasmalogen biosynthesis, in two families affected by severe intellectual disability, early-onset epilepsy, microcephaly, congenital cataracts, growth retardation, and spasticity.

Resolution of the fatty acid reductase from Photobacterium phosphoreum into acyl protein synthetase and acyl-CoA reductase activities. Evidence for an enzyme complex.
The biosynthesis of long chain aliphatic aldehydes for light emission in luminescent bacteria is catalyzed by a fatty acid reductase in a reaction dependent on ATP and NADPH. Evidence has now been obtained which demonstrates that this reaction consists of two distinct steps: 1) activation of fatty acid and 2) reduction of a fatty acyl intermediate to aldehyde. Fatty acid reductase catalyzed the...
متن کاملQuantitation of acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine esters accumulated during abnormal mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation.
We have used radio-high pressure liquid chromatography to study the acyl-CoA ester intermediates and the acylcarnitines formed during mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. During oxidation of [U-14C]hexadecanoate by normal human fibroblast mitochondria, only the saturated acyl-CoA and acylcarnitine esters can be detected, supporting the concept that the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase step is rate-limitin...
متن کاملPosttranslational regulation of fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1, Far1, controls ether glycerophospholipid synthesis.
Plasmalogens are a major subclass of ethanolamine and choline glycerophospholipids in which a long chain fatty alcohol is attached at the sn-1 position through a vinyl ether bond. This ether-linked alkyl bond is formed in peroxisomes by replacement of a fatty acyl chain in the intermediate 1-acyl-dihydroxyacetone phosphate with a fatty alcohol in a reaction catalyzed by alkyl dihydroxyacetone p...
متن کاملMitochondrial very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency--a new disorder of fatty acid oxidation.
Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a newly characterised enzyme in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. A girl who presented on the second day of life with a sudden and severe illness due to deficiency of this enzyme is reported. There is evidence that some children (and perhaps all) originally diagnosed with a deficiency of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, in fact, have a defect involv...
متن کاملIdentification and quantification of intermediates of unsaturated fatty acid metabolism in plasma of patients with fatty acid oxidation disorders.
The free fatty acid and total fatty acid profiles in plasma of nine patients with medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency, two with very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) deficiency and two with mild-type multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MAD-m) deficiency, were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. In the plasma of patients with MCAD deficiency we found increas...
