The modification of proteins by malonylation plays an important regulatory role in multiple biological processes. Protein malonylation is the reversible addition of malonyl groups to lysine residues to regulate protein localization, enzyme activity, protein stability, and many other biochemical processes. However, little information was available on the malonylation of lysine in Eucommia ulmoides, an important traditional Chinese herb with multiple active substances. In this study, we analyzed the malonylation of lysine to determine the potential regulatory role of lysine malonylation in the growth and development of E. ulmoides using LC–MS/MS combined with immune-based purification. A total of 388 lysine malonylation sites distributed in 256 proteins were identified. A gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the proteins in which lysine is malonylated are related to a wide range of cellular functions ranging from metabolic processes to responses to stimuli. A bioinformatic analysis showed that malonylated proteins are primarily distributed in the chloroplast (108 proteins, 42.19%), cytoplasm (90 proteins, 35.16%), and nucleus (27 proteins, 10.55%). They are primarily involved in energy metabolism, including photosynthesis, carbon metabolism, glycolysis, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. Our research suggests that the malonylation of lysine is necessary for the life cycle of plants, which are primarily involved in the process of converting solar energy to biomass energy that is stored and converting the energy stored by plants into energy (ATP) available for direct use in E. ulmoides. To our knowledge, this is the first posttranslational malonylation modification of E. ulmoides proteins, which was conducted simultaneously to explore the mechanism of modification groups in protein functions, protein interactions, and biological metabolism, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the production and breeding of E. ulmoides.

Fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) are key pathways involved in cellular energetics. Reducing equivalents from FAO enter OXPHOS at the level of complexes I and III. Genetic disorders of FAO and OXPHOS are among the most frequent inborn errors of metabolism. Patients with deficiencies of either FAO or OXPHOS often show clinical and/or biochemical findings indicative of a disorder of the other pathway. In this study, the physical and functional interactions between these pathways were examined. Extracts of isolated rat liver mitochondria were subjected to blue native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (BNGE) to separate OXPHOS complexes and supercomplexes followed by Western blotting using antisera to various FAO enzymes. Extracts were also subjected to sucrose density centrifugation and fractions analyzed by BNGE or enzymatic assays. Several FAO enzymes co-migrated with OXPHOS supercomplexes in different patterns in the gels. When palmitoyl-CoA was added to the sucrose gradient fractions containing OXPHOS supercomplexes in the presence of potassium cyanide, cytochrome c was reduced. Cytochrome c reduction was completely blocked by myxothiazol (a complex III inhibitor) and 3-mercaptopropionate (an inhibitor of the first step of FAO), but was only partially inhibited by rotenone (a complex I inhibitor). Although palmitoyl-CoA and octanoyl-CoA provided reducing equivalents to OXPHOS-containing supercomplex fractions, no accumulation of their intermediates was detected. In contrast, short branched acyl-CoA substrates were not metabolized by OXPHOS-containing supercomplex fractions. These data provide evidence of a multifunctional FAO complex within mitochondria that is physically associated with OXPHOS supercomplexes and promotes metabolic channeling.  相似文献

SIRT4, a member of the sirtuin family, has been implicated in the regulation of insulin secretion by modulation of glutamate dehydrogenase. However, the role of this enzyme in the regulation of metabolism in other tissues is unknown. In this study we investigated whether depletion of SIRT4 would enhance liver and muscle metabolic functions. To do this SIRT4 was knocked down using an adenoviral shRNA in mouse primary hepatocytes and myotubes. We observed a significant increase in gene expression of mitochondrial and fatty acid metabolism enzymes in hepatocytes with reduced SIRT4 levels. SIRT4 knockdown also increased SIRT1 mRNA and protein levels both in vitro and in vivo. In agreement with the increased fatty acid oxidation (FAO) gene expression, we showed a significant increase in FAO in SIRT4 knockdown primary hepatocytes compared with control, and this effect was dependent on SIRT1. In primary myotubes, knockdown of SIRT4 resulted in increased FAO, cellular respiration, and pAMPK levels. When SIRT4 was knocked down in vivo by tail vein injection of a shRNA adenovirus, we observed a significant increase in hepatic mitochondrial and FAO gene expression consistent with the findings in primary hepatocytes. Taken together these findings demonstrate that SIRT4 inhibition increases fat oxidative capacity in liver and mitochondrial function in muscle, which might provide therapeutic benefits for diseases associated with ectopic lipid storage such as type 2 diabetes.  相似文献

Oxidative stress in skeletal muscle is a hallmark of various pathophysiologic states that also feature increased reliance on long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) substrate, such as insulin resistance and exercise. However, little is known about the mechanistic basis of the LCFA-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) burden in intact mitochondria, and elucidation of this mechanistic basis was the goal of this study. Specific aims were to determine the extent to which LCFA catabolism is associated with ROS production and to gain mechanistic insights into the associated ROS production. Because intermediates and by-products of LCFA catabolism may interfere with antioxidant mechanisms, we predicted that ROS formation during LCFA catabolism reflects a complex process involving multiple sites of ROS production as well as modified mitochondrial function. Thus, we utilized several complementary approaches to probe the underlying mechanism(s). Using skeletal muscle mitochondria, our findings indicate that even a low supply of LCFA is associated with ROS formation in excess of that generated by NADH-linked substrates. Moreover, ROS production was evident across the physiologic range of membrane potential and was relatively insensitive to membrane potential changes. Determinations of topology and membrane potential as well as use of inhibitors revealed complex III and the electron transfer flavoprotein (ETF) and ETF-oxidoreductase, as likely sites of ROS production. Finally, ROS production was sensitive to matrix levels of LCFA catabolic intermediates, indicating that mitochondrial export of LCFA catabolic intermediates can play a role in determining ROS levels.  相似文献

脂肪酸合成酶(fatty acid synthase,FASN)是肿瘤脂质生成的一种关键酶,在催化脂肪酸合成的最后一步中发挥重要作用。FASN在许多肿瘤细胞中过表达而在相应的正常细胞中却不表达。有证据表明FASN是一个代谢性癌基因,在癌细胞中高表达,在肿瘤生长和存活中有重要的作用。FASN在肿瘤中的表达调节是一个很复杂的过程,包括转录水平、翻译后控制和微环境状态的影响。正确认识FASN在肿瘤中的表达调节机制和研究新的FASN抑制剂,为成功治疗肿瘤提供一种新的思路。  相似文献

Tween 60 (polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate) has been found to be the most effective derivative of fatty acid in accumulating l-glutamic acid in biotin-sufficient medium. The effect was exceedingly subject to the influence of the addition time of the ester, and this was observed also on the growth curve of Brev. lactofermentum. Changes of the growth curve caused by the varied addition time of the ester corresponded to those by the concentration of biotin in the medium that did not contain Tween 60. The patterns of fermentation course in the two corresponding conditions, such as biotin 3 μg/l and biotin 20 μg/l-Tween 60 mg/ml, agreed closely with each other. It seemed that identical cells were grown on the conditions. The only difference between the cells was observed as to the contents of intracellular biotin. Although l-glutamic acid was not accumulated by biotin-sufficient cells, cells with sufficient biotin and capable of accumulating l-glutamic acid were obtained in the presence of Tween 60, in which case the ester neither prevented the cells from taking up biotin nor controlled the level of intracellular biotin.  相似文献

The effect of the fatty acid composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) on copper-ion-catalyzed oxidation of isolated LDL was examined in 18 normolipidemic men. The decrease in LDL linoleic acid concentration (ΔL) during oxidation was found to be strongly correlated with initial LDL linoleic acid concentration (r = 0.976, n = 18, P < 0.001), whereas the production of thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) was not. The concentration of oleic acid in LDL was then increased significantly (mean increase 20%, P < 0.05) in 8 male volunteers by a daily dietary supplement of rapeseed oil/muesli for 4 weeks. The mean delay before copper-ion-catalyzed production of conjugated dienes (the lag phase) was significantly (P < 0.001) greater in LDL isolated after the study period (67 min) than that of before the study period (40 mm). The rate of formation of conjugated dienes, ΔL and TBARS production during oxidation of LDL was not significantly altered by the rapeseed oil/muesli supplement. These results suggest that the linoleic acid content of LDL is a determinant of individual variability in LDL oxidation, and that a rapeseed oil/muesli dietary supplement reduces the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation.  相似文献

Brev. lactofermentum rapidly took up biotin from culture medium and stored it in the cells. The saturation level of the stored biotin (3.8 × 104 molecules/cell) exceeded the level required for the maximum growth by ten times, and the minimum level (1.3 × 103 molecules/cell) was the most adequate to the accumulation of l-glutamic acid. The stored cellular biotin over the minimum level was metabolically available in the subsequent culture lacking in supplemented biotin. The cellular biotin was gradually reduced to the minimum level with the multiplication of the cells, and them the accumulation of l-glutamic acid was observed. This relation between the level of cellular biotin and the accumulation of l-glutamic acid was impaired by the addition of Tween 60 or some saturated fatty acid. In the presence of biotin and Tween 60 the biotin-saturated cells turned into cells capable of accumulating l-glutamic acid keeping the maximum level; and in the same medium the cells having the minimum amount of biotin took up biotin and then were saturated with it, and yet the cells preserved the acid-accumulating property. It was confirmed with the use of bioautographic technique and avidin test that the biotin released from the cells by acid hydrolysis was identical with authentic d-biotin.  相似文献

In the preceding paper on the interrelation between sucrose ester of fatty acid and biotin, the fatty acid being a mixture of C10 to C18 acid, it was described that carbon chain length of fatty acid has a great influence on the accumulation of l-glutamic acid. Fatty acids with C12 to C18 chain length, particularly myristic, palmitic and margaric acids were effective on the accumulation of l-glutamic acid in the culture medium containing sufficient biotin, whereas lower and higher length acids were ineffective. In the form of polyoxyethylene sorbitan or polyethylene glycol ester, C16 and C18 acids were remarkably effective. However, the ester of C12 acid and polyoxyethylene ethers of C12 to C18 alcohols had little or no effect.  相似文献

It has been found that although Brevibacterium lactofermentum No. 2256 is incapable of accumulating l-glutamic acid in a biotin sufficient medium, it produces a large quantity of the acid in the presence of sucrose fatty acid ester. In a biotin deficient medium, however, the ester brought the unfavorable diminution of l-glutamic acid accumulation caused by the decrease of glucose consumption in an incubation period. The undesirable effects were practically lost when the ester was added to the culture medium after more than eight hours in the course of incubation. This fact suggests that the ester is concerned with the growth of microorganism. It is very interesting to elucidate the interrelation between sucrose fatty acid ester and biotin. For the maximum accumulation of l-glutamic acid corresponding increase in amount of the ester to the increasing concentration of biotin was necessary. The proportional relation did not extend to excedingly high levels of the two implicating factors. The further observations concerning the effects of the individual fatty acid esters such as sucrose stearate remain unsatisfactory.  相似文献

Fatty Acid Oxidation and Ketogenesis by Astrocytes in Primary Culture   总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1  
The oxidation of the fatty acids octanoate and palmitate to CO2 and the ketone bodies acetoacetate and D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyrate was examined in astrocytes that were prepared from cortex of 2-day-old rat brain and grown in primary culture to confluence. Accumulation of acetoacetate (by mass) in the culture medium of astrocytes incubated with octanoate (0.3-0.5 mM) was 50-90 nmol C2 units h-1 mg of protein-1. A similar rate was obtained using radiolabeled tracer methodology with [1-14C]octanoate as labeled substrate. The results from the radiolabeled tracer studies using [1-14C]- and [7-14C]octanoate and [1-14C]-, [13-14C]-, and [15-14C]palmitate indicated that a substantial proportion of the omega-terminal four-carbon unit of these fatty acids bypassed the beta-ketothiolase step of the beta-oxidation pathway and the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA cycle of the classic ketogenic pathway. The [14C]acetoacetate formed from the 1-14C-labeled fatty acids, obligated to pass through the acetyl-CoA pool, contained 50% of the label at carbon 3 and 50% at carbon 1. By contrast, the [14C]acetoacetate formed from (omega-1)-labeled fatty acids contained 90% of the label at carbon 3 and 10% at carbon 1, whereas that formed from the (omega-3)-labeled fatty acid contained 20% of the label at carbon 3 and 80% at carbon 1. These results indicate that acetoacetate is primarily formed either by the action of 3-oxo-acid-CoA transferase (EC 2.8.3.5) or acetoacetyl-CoA deacylase (EC 3.1.2.11) or both on acetoacetyl-CoA and not by the action of the mitochondrial HMG-CoA cycle involving HMG-CoA lyase (EC 4.1.3.4), which was readily detected, and HMG-CoA synthase (EC 4.1.3.5), which was barely measurable.  相似文献

Lipid metabolism in liver is complex. In addition to importing and exporting lipid via lipoproteins, hepatocytes can oxidize lipid via fatty acid oxidation, or alternatively, synthesize new lipid via de novo lipogenesis. The net sum of these pathways is dictated by a number of factors, which in certain disease states leads to fatty liver disease. Excess hepatic lipid accumulation is associated with whole body insulin resistance and coronary heart disease. Tools to study lipid metabolism in hepatocytes are useful to understand the role of hepatic lipid metabolism in certain metabolic disorders.In the liver, hepatocytes regulate the breakdown and synthesis of fatty acids via β-fatty oxidation and de novo lipogenesis, respectively. Quantifying metabolism in these pathways provides insight into hepatic lipid handling. Unlike in vitro quantification, using primary hepatocytes, making measurements in vivo is technically challenging and resource intensive. Hence, quantifying β-fatty acid oxidation and de novo lipogenesis in cultured mouse hepatocytes provides a straight forward method to assess hepatocyte lipid handling. Here we describe a method for the isolation of primary mouse hepatocytes, and we demonstrate quantification of β-fatty acid oxidation and de novo lipogenesis, using radiolabeled substrates.  相似文献

Escherichia coli grows on long-chain fatty acids after a distinct lag phase. Cells, preadapted to palmitate, grow immediately on fatty acids, indicating that fatty acid oxidation in this bacterium is an inducible system. This hypothesis is supported by the fact that cells grown on palmitate oxidize fatty acids at rates 7 times faster than cells grown on amino acids and 60 times faster than cells grown on a combined medium of glucose and amino acids. The inhibitory effect of glucose may be explained in terms of catabolite repression. The activities of the five key enzymes of beta-oxidation [palmityl-coenzyme A (CoA) synthetase, acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, enoyl-CoA hydrase, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, and thiolase] all vary coordinately over a wide range of activity, indicating that they are all under unit control. The ability of a fatty acid to induce the enzymes of beta-oxidation and support-growth is a function of its chain length. Fatty acids of carbon chain lengths of C(14) and longer induce the enzymes of fatty acid oxidation and readily support growth, whereas decanoate and laurate do not induce the enzymes of fatty acid oxidation and only support limited growth of palmitate-induced cells. Two mutants, D-1 and D-3, which grow on decanoate and laurate were isolated and were found to contain constitutive levels of the beta-oxidation enzymes. Short-chain fatty acids (相似文献

This research is conducted to study the HCN-p of several types of sorghum, as well as their changes in amino acid. The HCN-p of sorghum seedling reached its maximum in 4–6 days after germination. It was found that the first leaf of the seedling has the highest HCN-p. Among the 14 varieties studied, Atlas had the highest HCN-p (1984ppm), whereas NP-22 had the lowest value (479ppm). Light-grown seedlings had higher HCN-p. There was no obvious difference in protein amino acid in sorghum seedlings with .different HCN-p. However, the free amino acid content did vary in the sorghum varieties. The content of free tyrval, pheleu and ileu in etiolated Atlas seedlings was significantly higher than that in NP-22 seedlings. However, under condition of light, the five free amino acids lowers significantly in content in Atlas when compared be NP-22. This proves that Atlas had a more sensitive enzyme system and under presence of light, its free amino acid content was rapidly converted to cyanide.  相似文献
