24.5 Fatty Acid Synthesis When the body has met all its energy needs and the glycogen stores are full, • acetyl CoA from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids is used to synthesize new fatty acids in the cytosol. • two-carbon acetyl units are linked to form a 16-carbon fatty acid, palmitic acid, in the pathway called lipogenesis. Learning Goal Describe the biosynthesis of fatty acids from acetyl CoA. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Lipogenesis: Fatty Acid Synthesis The synthesis of fatty acids • proceeds in a separate pathway, with different enzymes; it is not a simple reversal of fatty acid oxidation. • occurs in the cytosol using the reduced coenzyme NADPH instead of occurring in the mitochondria, where oxidation takes place using FAD and NAD+. The reduced coenzyme NADPH is similar to that of NADH, with a phosphate group. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Synthesis, Acyl Carrier Protein, ACP In fatty acid synthesis, • an acyl carrier protein (HS — ACP) activates the acyl compounds. • HS — ACP contains the thiol and pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) groups found in acetyl CoA attached to a protein. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Preparation of Activated Carriers Before fatty acid synthesis can begin, the activated carriers must be synthesized. The synthesis of a three-carbon malonyl ACP requires • the synthesis of malonyl CoA, when acetyl CoA combines with bicarbonate. • the hydrolysis of ATP, which provides the energy for the reaction. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Preparation of Activated Carriers The activated forms of malonyl ACP and acetyl ACP are produced when the acyl group is combined with HS — ACP. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Synthesis of Fatty Acids: Reaction 1 The synthesis of a fatty acid occurs in the cytosol and requires a cycle of four reactions: In reaction 1, condensation, • 3-ketoacyl ACP synthase catalyzes the condensation of acetyl ACP and malonyl ACP. • a four-carbon acetoacetyl ACP and CO2 are produced. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Synthesis of Fatty Acids: Reaction 2 In reaction 2, reduction, • 3-ketoacyl ACP reductase reduces the 3-keto group using 2H from NADPH + H+. • 3-hydroxyacyl ACP, an alcohol, and the oxidized coenzyme NADP+ are produced. In the cytosol, NADPH is used to provide hydrogen for reduction reactions. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Synthesis of Fatty Acids: Reaction 3 In reaction 3, dehydration, • 3-hydroxyacyl ACP dehydrase catalyzes the dehydration of the hydroxyl. • a trans double bond in trans-2-enoyl ACP is formed. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Synthesis of Fatty Acids: Reaction 4 In reaction 4, reduction, • enoyl ACP reductase uses hydrogen from NADPH + H+ to reduce the double bond to a single bond. • butyryl ACP, a saturated four-carbon compound, two carbon atoms longer than the original acetyl ACP, forms. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Fatty Acid Synthesis, Cycle Repeats The cycle of fatty acid synthesis repeats as • malonyl-ACP combines with the four-carbon butyryl-ACP to form six-carbon hexanoyl-ACP. • C16 palmitoyl ACP, is hydrolyzed to yield palmitate and HS — ACP after seven cycles. The overall equation for the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl CoA is written as follows: General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Longer and Shorter Fatty Acids Palmitate is the first fatty acid produced by fatty acid synthesis. However, • shorter fatty acids are released earlier in the fatty acid synthesis process before there are 16 carbon atoms in the chain. • longer fatty acids are produced with special enzymes that add two-carbon acetyl units to the carboxyl end of the fatty acid chain. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis Fatty acid synthesis occurs in the adipose tissue and is stimulated by insulin. When blood glucose is high, insulin • moves glucose into the cells, stimulating glycolysis and the oxidation of pyruvate. • produces acetyl CoA for fatty acid synthesis. Two carbons are added to the growing fatty acid chain by using three-carbon malonyl units. The transport of acyl groups into the matrix of the mitochondria is blocked, preventing their oxidation. General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life, 5/e Karen C. Timberlake © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. Summary of Lipogenesis In fatty acid synthesis (lipogenesis2), two-carbon units from acetyl CoA are added together to form palmitate.
