Complex Lipid Biosynthesis: Phospholipid Synthesis
نویسنده
چکیده
Fluorescent phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine were used to characterize lipid-transport pathways into lipid bodies in an oleaginous fungus, Mortierella ramanniana var. angulispora. Several characteristics of the lipid transport such as temperature dependence and ATP dependence were evaluated. The transport depicted by these fluorescent lipids was consistent with metabolism of radiolabelled lipids, indicating that fluorescent lipids are useful to study lipid-body formation in this fungus. The results dissect lipid transport of phosphatidic acid and phosphatidylcholine into lipid bodies and reveal regulatory steps for lipidbody formation in this fungus.

mTORC1 stimulates phosphatidylcholine synthesis to promote triglyceride secretion.
Liver triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis and secretion are closely linked to nutrient availability. After a meal, hepatic TAG formation from fatty acids is decreased, largely due to a reduction in circulating free fatty acids (FFA). Despite the postprandial decrease in FFA-driven esterification and oxidation, VLDL-TAG secretion is maintained to support peripheral lipid delivery and metabolism. The...
متن کاملApolipoprotein serum amyloid A down-regulates smooth-muscle cell lipid biosynthesis.
The addition of acute-phase apolipoprotein serum amyloid A (SAA) to cultured aortic smooth-muscle cells caused a decrease in the incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into lipids. Optimal inhibition of lipid biosynthesis was achieved with 2 microM SAA, and the effect was maintained for up to 1 week when SAA was included in the culture medium. Lipid extracts were subjected to TLC and it was determined...
متن کاملNeutral lipid storage disease: a genetic disorder with abnormalities in the regulation of phospholipid metabolism.
Neutral lipid storage disease (NLSD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the presence of numerous lipid droplets in virtually all tissues examined. The increased cellular triacylglycerol content results from defective recycling of triacylglycerol-derived diacylglycerol to phospholipids (Igal, R. A. and R. A. Coleman. 1996. J. Biol. Chem. 271: 16644-16651). In order to determine ...
متن کاملNuA4 Lysine Acetyltransferase Complex Contributes to Phospholipid Homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Actively proliferating cells constantly monitor and readjust their metabolic pathways to ensure the replenishment of phospholipids necessary for membrane biogenesis and intracellular trafficking. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, multiple studies have suggested that the lysine acetyltransferase complex NuA4 plays a role in phospholipid homeostasis. For one, NuA4 mutants induce the expression of the ...
متن کاملBiochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology of lipids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a powerful experimental system to study biochemical, cell biological and molecular biological aspects of lipid synthesis. Most but not all genes encoding enzymes involved in fatty acid, phospholipid, sterol or sphingolipid biosynthesis of this unicellular eukaryote have been cloned, and many gene products have been functionally characterized. Less informati...
