Synthesis and elongation of fatty acids A molecular caliper mechanism for determining very long-chain fatty acid length Vladimir Denic and Jonathan S. Weissman (2007) Cell 130, 663-677 February 28, 2008 Toon de Kroon Membrane Enzymology Reasons for choosing this topic/paper: • Acyl chains: membrane building blocks • Synthesis of fatty acids • Specific functions of very long chain fatty acids • Yeast as powerful model eukaryote (in lipid research) • Functional reconstitution of membrane protein enzymes Outline of introduction Fatty acids •Function •Review of FA synthesis general Very long chain fatty acids •Definition •Function •Synthesis: elongation “Yeast tricks” yeast Fatty acids • Essential in all organisms except archaea • Constituents of membranes • Posttranslational protein modification (myristoylation, palmitoylation) • Storage of chemical energy (TAG, sterolesters) Eukaryotic membrane lipids Acyl chain composition determines physicochemical membrane parameters: { acyl chain length degree of unsaturation membrane thickness membrane fluidity membrane curvature (PE, DAG) which affect membrane protein function molecular shape PC PI PE confers negative curvature stress PE Synthesis of fatty acids The formation of malonyl-CoA is the committed step in fatty acid synthesis acetyl-CoA carboxylase (biotin) Intermediates in fatty acid synthesis are attached to ACP Fatty acid synthesis: sequential addition of two-carbon units up to C16, by fatty acid synthase (FAS), localized in the cytosol acyl-malonyl condensing enzyme (β-ketoacyl synthase) KS/CE β-ketoacyl reductase KR β-hydroxyacyl dehydratase DH enoyl reductase ER Stoichiometry of the synthesis of C16:0 8 acetyl CoA + 7 ATP + 14 NADPH + 6 H+ palmitate (C16:0) + 14 NADP+ + 8 CoA + 6 H2O + 7 ADP + 7 Pi Animal fatty acid synthase: homodimer of single chains (540 kDa) AT, acetyltransferase MT, malonyltransferase KS/CE, condensing enzyme KR, β-ketoacyl reductase DH, dehydratase ER, enoylreductase TE, thioesterase FAS in fungi: α6β6 2.6 MDa particle Jenni et al., 2007 Domain organization and structure of the subunits of fungal FAS Jenni et al., 2007 Reaction chambers of yeast FAS pathway traversed by ACP side view ACP in modeled positions at each active site top view Lomakin et al., 2007 Desaturation of fatty acids: by electron transport chain in the ER Phospholipid and acyl chain composition of wild type yeast phospholipid class phosphatidylcholine (PC) phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) phosphatidylinositol (PI) phosphatidylserine (PS) cardiolipin (CL) mol% 41 26 18 9 5 fatty acid mol% C14 C16:0 C16:1 C18:0 C18:1 C26:0 2 15 48 4 30 1 Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA): > C18 Functions in mammals: - >C30: skin permeability barrier - signaling: e.g. C20:4 (arachidonic acid) - constituent of myelin in plants: - oils and waxes in S. cerevisiae: - stabilization highly curved membranes - required for sphingolipid synthesis - required for GPI-anchors Morphological phenotype of yeast acc1 ts mutant at 37oC (is not rescued by C16 supplementation) •Separation nuclear inner and outer membranes (asterisk) •Formation of vesicle-like structures (star) •Arrow points to nuclear pore 0.6µm Schneiter & Kohlwein, 1997 Models of highly curved membrane domains and their possible stabilization by VLCFA-containing lipids C26-PI Schneiter et al., 2004 Sphingolipid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae long chain bases (LCB) Structure of GPI anchors of yeast: C26:0 Synthesis and elongation by different enzyme complexes: similar reactions little sequence homology Fatty acid elongation machinery in S. cerevisiae Sur4p (Elo3p) elongation up to C26 Fen1p (Elo2p) elongation up to C22 ∆elo2∆elo3: inviable (Elo1p elongation up to C18 elo1 mutants can’t use C12-14 as substituents for endogenous fatty acid synthesis) Ybr159wp: Dehydratase: Tsc13p: β-ketoacylreductase: not essential ?? enoyl reductase: essential Issues addressed by Denic and Weissman: • Function of the Elops Fen2p and Sur4p in elongation • Gene-enzyme relationships in FA elongation • Assignment of the β-hydroxyacyldehydratase • How is the length of the fatty acid determined? to be presented by: Agon Hyseni Tessa Quax Bastiaan Bijl Myrthe Braam Yeast tricks 1. DAmP (decreased abundance by mRNA perturbation) trick to include essential genes in large-scale screens for genetic interactions (e.g. synthetic lethal/sick screens): the 3’-UTR (untranslated region) of the gene is disrupted by insertion of an antibiotic resistance marker, destabilizing the corresponding mRNA, yielding proteins under their natural transcriptional regulation but at substantially reduced levels 2.
