The effect of pH and acyl-CoA chain length on the conversion of the malonyl-CoA-sensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-I/CPTo) to a high-affinity, malonyl-CoA-inhibited state using a particle derived from rat heart mitochondria was determined. Preincubation with malonyl-CoA for one minute in the absence of acyl-CoA substrate lowers the IC50 for malonyl-CoA from 2 microM, 14 microM, and 15 microM at pH 7.4 to 15 nM, 14 nM, and 14 nM for decanyl-, lauryl-, and palmitoyl-CoA, respectively. Reducing the pH to 7.1 and 6.8 had little effect on the transition to the high affinity, malonyl-CoA-inhibited state. Preincubation of malonyl-CoA with the acyl-CoA, but not with L-carnitine, prevented the transition to the high affinity, malonyl-CoA-inhibited state. 相似文献

The effects of mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl)phthalate [ME(O)HP], a di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) metabolite and a potent peroxisomal inducer, on the mitochondrial beta-oxidation were investigated. In isolated rat hepatocytes, ME(O)HP inhibited long chain fatty acid oxidation and had no effect on the ketogenesis of short chain fatty acids, suggesting that the inhibition occurred at the site of carnitine-dependent transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane. In rat liver mitochondria, ME(O)HP inhibited carnitine acyltransferase I (CAT I; EC 2.3.1.21) competitively with the substrates palmitoyl-CoA and octanoyl-CoA. An analogous treatment of mouse mitochondria produced a similar competitive inhibition of palmitoyl-CoA transport whereas ME(O)HP exposure with guinea pig and human liver mitochondria revealed little or no effect. The addition of clofibric acid, nafenopin or methylclofenopate revealed no direct effects upon CAT I activity. Inhibition of transferase activity by ME(O)HP was reversed in mitochondria which had been solubilized with octyl glucoside to expose the latent form of carnitine acyltransferase (CAT II), suggesting that the inhibition was specific for CAT I. Our results demonstrate that in vitro ME(O)HP inhibits fatty acid oxidation in rat liver at the site of transport across the mitochondrial inner membrane with a marked species difference and support the idea that induction of peroxisome proliferation could be due to an initial biochemical lesion of the fatty acid metabolism. 相似文献

The data used to support the idea that malonyl-coenzyme A (CoA)-sensitive carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT-I) is localized on the outer mitochondrial membrane are based on harsh techniques that disrupt mitochondrial physiology. We have turned to the use of the French press, which produces a shearing force that denudes mitochondria of their outer membrane without the physiologically disruptive effects characteristic of phosphate swelling. Our results indicate that the mitoplasts contain just 15-19% of the outer membrane marker enzyme activity while retaining 85% of the total CPT activity and 50% of both CPT-I, as well as long-chain acyl-CoA synthase activity, the latter two supposed outer membrane enzymes. These mitoplasts were shown by electron microscopy to have the configuration of mitochondria that merely have been divested of their outer membranes. Carnitine-dependent fatty acid oxidation was retained in the mitoplasts, showing that they were physiologically intact. Moreover, protein immunoblotting analysis showed that CPT-I, as well as the inner CPT-II, was localized in the mitoplast fraction. The outer membrane fraction, which consisted of membrane "ghosts," contained most (50-60%) of marker enzyme activity, monoamine oxidase-B and porin proteins, but only about 27-29% CPT-I activity. Because CPT-I and long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase appear to be associated with both inner and outer membranes, we postulate that these enzymes reside in contact sites, which represent a melding of both limiting membranes. 相似文献

Carnitine cellular uptake and plasma membrane binding was investigated in S49 lymphoma cells. Palmitoyl-CoA was found to increase membrane binding of carnitine from 506 +/- 48 to 8,690 +/- 235 pmol/mg membrane protein. Palmitate and CoA acted synergistically and increased carnitine binding to plasma membranes but could not replace palmitoyl-CoA. The effect of palmitoyl-CoA on membrane binding of carnitine was maximal at 10 microM and required the presence of ATP. Palmitoyl-CoA increased the cellular uptake rate of carnitine from 181 +/- 5 to 884 +/- 25 amol/cell and h-1. We conclude that palmitoyl-CoA is a major regulator of cellular uptake of carnitine and, based on quantitative estimations, that the carnitine carrier binds more than one carnitine molecule. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effects of a single dose of 3-thia fatty acids (tetradecylthioacetic acid and 3-thiadicarboxylic acid) over a 24-hr study period on the expression of genes related to peroxisomal and mitochondrial beta-oxidation in liver of rats. The plasma triglyceride level decreased at 2-4 hr, 4-8 hr, and 8-24 hr, respectively, after a single dose of 150, 300, or 500 mg of 3-thia fatty acids/kg body weight. Four to eight hours after administration of 3-thia fatty acids, a several-fold-induced gene expression of peroxisomal multifunctional protein, fatty acyl-CoA oxidase (EC 1.3.3.6), fatty acid binding protein, and 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.43) resulted, concomitant with increased activity of 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase and fatty acyl-CoA oxidase. The expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-II increased at 2 and 4 hr, respectively, although at a smaller scale. In cultured hepatocytes, 3-thia fatty acids stimulated fatty acid oxidation after 4 hr, and this was both L-carnitine- and L-aminocarnitine-sensitive. The hepatic content of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid decreased throughout the study period. In contrast, the hepatic content of oleic acid tended to increase after 24 hr and was significantly increased after repeated administration of 3-thia fatty acids. Similarly, the expression of delta9-desaturase was unchanged during the 24-hr study, but increased after feeding for 5 days. To conclude, carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I expression seemed to be induced earlier than 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase and fatty acid binding protein, and not later than the peroxisomal fatty acyl-CoA oxidase. The expression of delta9-desaturase showed a more delayed response. 相似文献

To assess the role of the 130 N-terminal amino acid residues of rat liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (L-CPTI) on malonyl-CoA sensitivity and binding, we constructed a series of mutants with deletions of the 18, 35, 52, 73, 83, or 129 most N-terminal amino acid residues. The deletion mutants were expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris. We determined the effects of these mutations on L-CPTI activity, malonyl-CoA sensitivity, and binding in isolated mitochondria prepared from the yeast strains expressing the wild-type and deletion mutants. The mutant protein that lacked the first 18 N-terminal amino acid residues, Delta18, had activity and kinetic properties similar to wild-type L-CPTI, but it was almost completely insensitive to malonyl-CoA inhibition (I50 = 380 microM versus 2.0 microM). In addition, loss of malonyl-CoA sensitivity in Delta18 was accompanied by a 70-fold decrease in affinity for malonyl CoA (KD = 70 nM versus 1.1 nM) compared to wild-type L-CPTI. Deletion of the first 35, 52, 73, and 83 N-terminal amino acid residues had a similar effect on malonyl-CoA sensitivity as did the 18-residue deletion mutant, and there was a progressive reduction in the affinity for malonyl-CoA binding. By contrast, deletion of the first 129 N-terminal amino acid residues resulted in the synthesis of an inactive protein. To our knowledge, this is the first report to demonstrate a critical role for these perfectly conserved first 18 N-terminal amino acid residues of L-CPTI in malonyl-CoA sensitivity and binding. 相似文献

This study reports the effects of a novel polyunsaturated 3-thia fatty acid, methyl 3-thiaoctadeca-6,9,12,15-tetraenoate on serum lipids and key enzymes in hepatic fatty acid metabolism compared to a saturated 3-thia fatty acid, tetradecylthioacetic acid. Palmitic acid treated rats served as controls. Fatty acids were administered by gavage in daily doses of 150 mg/kg body weight for 10 days. The aim of the present study was: (a) To investigate the effect of a polyunsaturated 3-thia fatty acid ester, methyl 3-thiaoctadeca-6,9,12,15-tetraenoate on plasma lipids in normolipidemic rats: (b) to verify whether the lipid-lowering effect could be consistent with enhanced fatty acid oxidation: and (c) to study whether decreased activity of esterifying enzymes and diversion to phospholipid synthesis is a concerted mechanism in limiting the availability of free fatty acid as a substrate for hepatic triglyceride formation. Repeated administration of the polyunsaturated 3-thia fatty acid ester for 10 days resulted in a reduction of plasma triglycerides (40%), cholesterol (33%) and phospholipids (20%) compared to controls. Administration of polyunsaturated and saturated 3-thia fatty acids (daily doses of 150 mg/kg body weight) reduced levels of lipids to a similar extent and followed about the same time-course. Both mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation increased (1.4-fold- and 4.2-fold, respectively) and significantly increased activities of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) (1.6-fold), 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (1.2-fold) and fatty acyl-CoA oxidase (3.0-fold) were observed in polyunsaturated 3-thia fatty acid treated animals. This was accompanied by increased CPT-II mRNA (1.7-fold). 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase mRNA (2.9-fold) and fatty acyl-CoA oxidase mRNA (1.7-fold). Compared to controls, the hepatic triglyceride biosynthesis was retarded as indicated by a decrease in liver triglyceride content (40%). The activities of glycerophosphate acyltransferase, acyl-CoA: 1,2-diacylglycerol acyltransferase and CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase were increased. The cholesterol lowering effect was accompanied by a reduction in HMG-CoA reductase activity (80%) and acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase activity (33%). In hepatocytes treated with methyl 3-thiaoctadeca-6,9,12,15-tetraenoate, fatty acid oxidation was increased 1.8-fold compared to controls. The results suggest that treatment with methyl 3-thiaoctadeca-6,9,12,15-tetraenoate reduces plasma triglycerides by a decrease in the availability of fatty acid substrate for triglyceride biosynthesis via enhanced fatty acid oxidation, most likely attributed to the mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. It is hypothesized that decreased phosphatidate phosphohydrolase activity may be an additive mechanism which contribute whereby 3-thia fatty acids reduce triglyceride formation in the liver. The cholesterol-lowering effect of the polyunsaturated 3-thia fatty acid ester may be due to changes in cholesterol/cholesterol ester synthesis as 60% of this acid was observed in the hepatic cholesterol ester fraction. 相似文献

It has been reported that both n-3 and n-6 octadecatrienoic acids can increase hepatic fatty acid oxidation activity. It remains unclear, however, whether different enzymes in fatty acid oxidation show a similar response to n-3 and n-6 octadecatrienoic acids. The activity of hepatic fatty acid oxidation enzymes in rats fed an oil mixture rich in alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) and borage oil rich in gamma-linolenic acid (18:3n-6) was therefore compared to that in rats fed an oil mixture rich in linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and a saturated fat (palm oil) in this study. Linseed oil served as the source of 18:3n-3 for the oil mixture rich in this octadecatrienoic acid and contained 30.6% 18:3n-3 but not 18:3n-6. Borage oil contained 25.7% 18:3n-6 and 4.5% 18:3n-3. Groups of seven rats each were fed diets containing 15% various fats for 15 d. The oxidation rate of palmitoyl-CoA in the peroxisomes was higher in rats fed a fat mixture rich in 18:3n-3 (3.03 nmol/min/mg protein) and borage oil (2.89 nmol/min/mg protein) than in rats fed palm oil (2.08 nmol/min/mg protein) and a fat mixture rich in 18:2n-6 (2.15 nmol/min/mg protein). The mitochondrial palmitoyl-CoA oxidation rate was highest in rats fed a fat mixture rich in 18:3n-3 (1.93 nmol/min/mg protein), but no significant differences in this parameter were seen among the other groups (1.25-1.46 nmol/min/mg protein). Compared to palm oil and fat mixtures rich in 18:2n-6, a fat mixture rich in 18:3n-3 and borage oil significantly increased the hepatic activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase and acyl-CoA oxidase. Compared to palm oil and a fat mixture rich in 18:2n-6, a fat mixture rich in 18:3n-3, but not fats rich in 18:3n-6, significantly decreased 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Compared to palm oil and a fat mixture rich in 18:2n-6, borage oil profoundly decreased mitochondrial acyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity, but a fat mixture rich in 18:3n-3 increased it. 2,4-Dienoyl-CoA reductase activity was significantly lower in rats fed palm oil than in other groups. Compared to other fats, borage oil significantly increased delt3,delta2-enoyl-CoA isomerase activity. Activity was also significantly higher in rats fed 18:2n-6 oil than in those fed palm oil. It was confirmed that both dietary 18:3n-6 and 18:3n-3 increased fatty acid oxidation activity in the liver. These two dietary octadecatrienoic acids differ considerably, however, in how they affect individual fatty acid oxidation enzymes. 相似文献

A protein of S20,W 1.6S and mol.wt. 14000, which binds covalently a metabolite of the aminoazodye carcinogen NN-dimethyl-4-amino-3'-methylazobenzene, was isolated from rat liver cytosol from both carcinogen-treated and normal rats. The protein binds non-covalently palmitoyl-CoA, fatty acids, bilirubin, sex steroids and their sulphates, bile acids and salts, bromosulphophthalein, diethylstilboestrol and 20-methylcholanthrene with a wide range of affinities. The protein is isolated as three components with isoelectric points of 5.0, 5.9 and 7.6 by a method involving isoelectric focusing. All three components have closely similar amino acid analyses, tryptic-peptide 'maps' and u.v. spectra. Each single component redistributes into all three on further electrophoresis. However, the three forms differ in their binding characteristics, the form of pI 7.6 having much the highest affinity for compounds bound non-covalently. The protein was identified immunologically in rat liver, small intestine, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, myocardium and testis. The protein was compared with other hepatic binding-protein preparations of similar molecular weight. 相似文献

The positional and fatty acid specificity of phosphatidic acid biosynthesis in rat liver mitochondria and microsomal fractions was studied by using acylcarnitines, CoA and an excess of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.21) as the source of acyl-CoA. In the mitochondria, the preference for palmitic acid at the 1-position is increased at high acyl-CoA concentrations, whereas it is decreased in the microsomal fraction. There was no change in the fatty acid specificity at the 2-position with different acyl-CoA concentrations in any of the factions. The preference in mitochondria for linoleic acid at the 2-position is strongly increased at high concentrations of lysophosphatidic acid. 相似文献

A clear chain-length dependent effect was observed for peroxisomal fatty acid beta-oxidation and carnitine acetyltransferase and also for mitochondrial carnitine palmitoyltransferase in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. The extent of modulation of peroxisomal beta-oxidation was higher with even-carbon numbered dicarboxylic acids than with odd-carbon numbered ones, although such a tendency was not detected in the mitochondrial reactions. These results indicate difference in the effect of fatty acid-derived dicarboxylates on peroxisomal and mitochondrial functions. 相似文献

Deficiency of the enzymes of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and related carnitine dependent steps have been shown to be one of the causes of the fasting-induced hypoketotic hypoglycemia. We describe here carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase deficiency in a neonate who died eight days after birth. The proband showed severe fasting-induced hypoketotic hypoglycemia, high plasma creatine kinase, heartbeat disorder, hypothermia, and hyperammonemia. The plasma-free carnitine on day three was only 3 microM, and 92% of the total carnitine (37 microM) was present as acylcarnitine. Treatments with intravenous glucose, carnitine, and medium-chain triglycerides had been tried without improvements. Measurements in fibroblasts confirmed deficient oxidation of palmitate and showed normal activities of the carnitine palmitoyltransferases I and II and of the three acyl-CoA dehydrogenases. A total deficiency of the carnitine-acyl-carnitine translocase was found in fibroblasts using the carnitine acetylation assay (1986. Biochem. J. 236:143-148). This assay has been further simplified by seeking conditions permitting application to permeabilized fibroblasts and lymphocytes. 相似文献

Synthesis of 32P-labeled CoA of high specific activity was achieved using partially purified dephospho-CoA kinase (EC 2.7.1.24) from pig liver with [gamma-32P]ATP as donor and dephospho-CoA as acceptor. A photoaffinity dodecanoic acid analog, 12-[(4-azidosalicyl)amino]dodecanoic acid was synthesized, as were its CoA derivative (ASD-CoA) and the CoA derivative of 12-azidooleic acid. The CoA derivatives were synthesized from azido fatty acid analogs by acyl-CoA synthetase. The synthesized photolabile reagents were tested as photoaffinity labels for acyl-CoA oxidase (EC 1.3.99.3) from Arthrobacter species. When a mixture of oxidase and the acyl-CoA analogs were incubated in the absence of ultraviolet light, the analogs were recognized as substrate. Acyl-CoA oxidase was incubated in the presence of acyl-CoA analogs and immediately photolyzed, which resulted in irreversible inhibition. Oleoyl-CoA and dodecanoyl-CoA protect the enzyme from photoactivated inhibition by 12-azidooleoyl-CoA and ASD-CoA, respectively. Analysis of photolyzed enzyme preparations by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography revealed that both analogs preferentially labeled a 54,000 molecular weight protein. These results demonstrate that the photoaffinity acyl-CoA analogs have potential application as probes to identify and characterize lipid biosynthetic enzymes and to identify the active site of these proteins. 相似文献

The role of dietary fatty acids in the regulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) activity has been shown in liver but their role in the regulation of tumour CPT activity in vivo is unknown. The present study investigated the effects of several oils, given as dietary supplements, upon the activity of CPT I and II in the Walker 256 rat tumour and the inhibition or stimulation of tumour growth. CPT I activity was markedly inhibited by soya oil, rich in linoleic acid (70% inhibition vs control). CPT I mRNA expression was not inhibited by any of the oils studied, indeed soya oil caused a marked increase (132% vs control) in expression. These results suggest that soya oil can modulate, in vivo, the beta-oxidative pathway of tumour tissue and further supports the hypothesis of tumour CPT I regulation by polyunsaturated fatty acids. 相似文献

Fatty acid binding protein (FABP) is a protein of 12,000 mol wt found in cytosol of intestinal mucosa and other tissues, which exhibits high affinity for long chain fatty acids. It has been suggested that FABP (which may comprise a group of closely related proteins of 12,000 mol wt) participates in cellular fatty acid transport and metabolism. Although earlier findings were consistent with this concept, the present studies were designed to examine its physiological function more directly. Everted jejunal sacs were incubated in mixed fatty acid-monoglyceride-bile acid micelles, in the presence or absence of equimolar concentrations of either of two compounds which inhibit oleate binding to FABP:flavaspidic acid-N-methyl-glucaminate and alpha-bromopalmitate. Oleate uptake, mucosal morphology, and oxidation of [14C]acetate remained unaffected by these agents, but oleate incorporation into triglyceride was inhibited by 62-64% after 4 min. The inhibition by flavaspidic acid was reversible with higher oleate concentrations. The effect of these compounds on enzymes of triglyceride biosynthesis was examined in intestinal microsomes. Neither flavaspidic acid nor alpha-bromopalmitate inhibited acyl CoA:monoglyceride acyl-transferase. Fatty acid:coenzyme A ligase activity was significantly enhanced in the presence of partially purified FABP, probably reflecting a physical effect on the fatty acid substrate or on the formation of the enzyme-substrate complex. Activity of the enzyme in the presence of 0.1 mM oleate was only modestly inhibited by equimolar flavaspidic acid and alpha-bromopalmitate, and this effect was blunted or prevented by FABP. We conclude that in everted gut sacs, inhibition of triglyceride synthesis by flavaspidic acid and alpha-bromopalmitate could not be explained as an effect on fatty acid uptake or on esterifying enzymes in the endoplasmic reticulum but rather can be interpreted as reflecting inhibition of fatty acid binding to FABP. These findings lend further support to the concept that FABP participates in cellular fatty acid transport and metabolism. It is also possible that FABP, by effecting an intracellular compartmentalization of fatty acids and acyl CoA, may play a broader role in cellular lipid metabolism. 相似文献

The rat liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (L-CPT1), an integral outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) protein, is the key regulatory enzyme of fatty acid oxidation and is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. In vitro import of L-CPT1 into the OMM requires the presence of mitochondrial receptors and is stimulated by ATP but is membrane potential-independent. Its N-terminal domain (residues 1-150), which contains two transmembrane segments, possesses all of the information for mitochondrial targeting and OMM insertion. Deletion of this domain abrogates protein targeting, whereas its fusion to non-OMM-related proteins results in their mitochondrial targeting and OMM insertion in a manner similar to L-CPT1. Functional analysis of chimeric CPTs expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows that this domain also mediates in vivo protein insertion into the OMM. When the malonyl-CoA-insensitive CPT2 was anchored at the OMM either by a specific OMM signal anchor sequence (pOM29) or by the N-terminal domain of L-CPT1, its activity remains insensitive to malonyl-CoA inhibition. This indicates that malonyl-CoA sensitivity is an intrinsic property of L-CPT1 and that its N-terminal domain cannot confer malonyl-CoA sensitivity to CPT2. Replacement of the N-terminal domain by pOM29 results in a less folded and less active protein, which is also malonyl-CoA-insensitive. Thus, in addition to its role in mitochondrial targeting and OMM insertion, the N-terminal domain of L-CPT1 is essential to maintain an optimal conformation for both catalytic function and malonyl-CoA sensitivity. 相似文献

Curcumin (diferuloyl methane) from rhizomes of Curcuma longa L. binds to phosphatidylcholine (PC) micelles. The binding of curcumin with PC micelles was followed by fluorescence measurements. Curcumin emits at 490 nm with an excitation wavelength of 451 nm after binding to PC-mixed micelles stabilized with deoxycholate. Curcumin in aqueous solution does not inhibit dioxygenation of fatty acids by Lipoxygenase 1 (LOX1). But, when bound to PC micelles, it inhibits the oxidation of fatty acids. The present study has shown that 8.6 microM of curcumin bound to the PC micelles is required for 50% inhibition of linoleic acid peroxidation. Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis has indicated that curcumin is a competitive inhibitor of LOX1 with Ki of 1.7 microM for linoleic and 4.3 microM for arachidonic acids, respectively. Based on spectroscopic measurements, we conclude that the inhibition of LOX1 activity by curcumin can be due to binding to active center iron and curcumin after binding to the PC micelles acts as an inhibitor of LOX1. 相似文献
