[1-14C]Oleic and [1-14C]linoleic acids were rapidly desaturated when incubated with maize leaves from 8-day-old plants and the labeled fatty acids, and their desaturation products, were rapidly incorporated into glycerolipids. Oleic acid was desaturated to linoleate at the rate of 0.7 nmol/100 mg tissue/h and further desaturated to linolenate at about one-third this rate. The rates of linolenate formation were similar when either oleic acid or linoleic acid was the substrate although there was a 2-h lag period when oleic acid was substrate. When radioactive oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were substrates, phosphatidylcholine was the most extensively labeled glycerolipid followed by monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. The relative rates of incorporation of label into individual glycerolipids are consistent with a movement of labeled fatty acids from phosphatidylcholine to monogalactosyldiacylglycerol and then to diagalactosyldiacylglycerol. The rates of labeling of phosphatidylcholine oleate and of phosphatidylcholine linoleate are consistent with a precursor-product relationship in that there was a delayed accumulation of phosphatidylcholine linoleate relative to that of phosphatidylcholine oleate and phosphatidylcholine linoleate continued to accumulate while phosphatidylcholine oleate declined. Linoleate formed from oleate was widely distributed in glycerolipids but neither phosphatidylcholine linolenate nor linolenate-containing diacylglycerol was detected at short and intermediate incubation times when either oleic or linoleic acid was substrate. The kinetics of incorporation of linoleate and linolenate into monogalactosyldiacylglycerol suggest a transfer of linoleate from phosphatidylcholine. The initial rate of accumulation of labeled linolenate in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol was very similar to the rate of desaturation of linoleate and it is suggested that desaturation of linoleate occurs while associated with monogalactosyl-diacylglycerol.  相似文献

Etiolated Cucumis sativus L. cotyledons preferentially catabolized exogenous [1-14C]oleic acid and [1-14C]linoleic acid with relatively little incorporation into complex lipids or desaturation of the 14C-labeled fatty acids. Following a 16-hour exposure to light, the greening cotyledons efficiently desaturated the exogenous 14C-labeled fatty acids. A small amount of oleate desaturation to linoleate was observed in etiolated tissue, but hardly any linoleate desaturation to α-linolenate was detected. Both oleate and linoleate desaturation showed diurnal variations with maxima at the end of light periods and minima at the end of dark periods. Illumination of etiolated tissue by flashing light, as opposed to continuous light, failed to stimulate either chlorophyll or α-linolenic acid biosynthesis, and both processes could be halted or reversed by 10 micrograms per milliliter cycloheximide. Production of polyunsaturated fatty acids from [1-14C]acetate, [1-14C]oleic acid, and [1-14C]linoleic acid, by greening cucumber cotyledons, was markedly affected by tissue integrity with finely chopped cotyledons having very little capacity for their synthesis and intact seedlings showing the highest rates.  相似文献

Greening cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons exhibited dramatic increases in the ability to desaturate exogenously added [1-14C]oleic acid and [1-14C]linoleic acid within 2 to 3 hours of illumination. These increases were effectively inhibited by 10 micrograms per milliliter cycloheximide. Oleate desaturation remained at a high level in constant light for 5 to 6 days after induction and then declined by about 50%; when returned to the dark, the tissue showed a sharp decrease in conversion of [14C]oleate to [14C]linoleate. Linoleate desaturation reached a maximum about 15 hours after induction and declined immediately thereafter while the tissue still was in the light; after induction had peaked return of the tissue to the dark showed a dramatic fall of linoleate desaturation. The changes in desaturation were correlated with the conversion of the principal fatty acid in the etiolated cotyledons, linoleate, to α-linolenate, and with the assembly of the chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic membranes. The incorporation of [1-14C]acetate into lipids showed no significant light stimulation. The role of light in the regulation of certain aspects of plant metabolism during development is discussed.  相似文献

Etiolated barley leaves when exposed to light desaturate oleate-[14C] to linoleate. The production of substantial amounts of radioactive linolenate was found only in very young, tightly rolled leaves. In oleate-[14C] pulse experiments, radioactive linolenate first appeared in phosphatidylcholine (PC) and only after a lag period did it begin to accumulate in monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG). The results indicate that in young, immature barley leaves linolenate is synthesized from oleate on the parent lipid, PC, and is then transferred to MGDG.  相似文献

Callus cultures from olive (Olea europaea L.) were used to study characteristics of desaturation in this oil-rich tissue. The incorporation of [1-(14)C]oleate and [1-(14)C]linoleate into complex lipids and their further desaturation was followed in incubations of up to 48 h. Both radiolabelled fatty acids were rapidly incorporated into lipids, especially phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol. Radiolabelling of these two lipids peaked after 1-4 h, after which it fell. In contrast, other phosphoglycerides and the galactosylglycerides were labelled in a more sustained manner. [1-(14)C]Linoleate was almost exclusively found in the galactolipids. With [1-(14)C]linoleate as a precursor, the only significant desaturation to linolenate was in the galactolipids. Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol was the first lipid in which [1-(14)C]linoleate and [1-(14)C]linolenate appeared after incubation of the calli with [1-(14)C]oleate and [1-(14)C]linoleate, respectively. The presence of radioactivity in the plastidial lipids shows that both [1-(14)C]oleate and [1-(14)C]linoleate can freely enter the chloroplast. Two important environmental effects were also examined. Raised incubation temperatures (30-35 degrees C) reduced oleate desaturation and this was also reflected in the endogenous fatty acid composition. Low light also caused less oleate desaturation. The data indicate that lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase is important for the entry of oleate and linoleate into olive callus lipid metabolism and phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase may be involved in triacylglycerol biosynthesis. In addition, it is shown that plastid desaturases are mainly responsible for the production of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Individual fatty acid desaturases were differently susceptible to environmental stresses with FAD2 being reduced by both high temperature and low light, whereas FAD7 was only affected by high temperature.  相似文献

Evidence was obtained that Penicillium chrysogenum can produce linolenate by two biosynthetic pathways, i.e., by elongation of a shorter trienoic acid as well as direct desaturation of 18-C acids. In oxygen deficient cultures, exogenous hexadecatrienoate stimulated [1-14C]acetate incorporation into labeled octadecatrienoate and [U-14C]hexadecatrienoate with nonlabeled acetate yielded linolenate that had relatively little label in the 1-C position. With [1-14C]acetate as the only added substrate, oxygen deficiency inhibited incorporation of label into monoenoic and dienoic acids but not into trienoic acids. Incorporation of the [U-14C]linoleate into linolenate also was inhibited.In aerated cultures, 1-14C-label from laurate, palmitate, stearate, oleate, linoleate, and hexadecatrienoate was readily incorporated into linolenate. Decarboxylation and oxidation studies indicated that the longer acids were incorporated largely intact. [U-14C]Linoleate was incorporated into linolenate in which the fraction of label in 1-C was similar to that of the substrate. These data suggest that this mold has broader synthetic capabilities than do some chloroplast systems for the biosynthesis of linolenate.  相似文献

The effect of a substituted pyridazinone (4-chloro-5(dimethylamino)-2-phenyl-3(2H)pyridazinone; Sandoz 9785; BASF 13-338) on the formation of fatty acids from radiolabelled precursors has been studied in a number of angiosperms, bryophytes and algae. The labelling of [14C]linolenic acid was decreased by the herbicide in leaves of barley and rye grass and in cucumber cotyledons regardless of whether [14C]acetate,[14C]oleate or [14C]linoleate was used as precursor. A commensurate increase in the labelling of [14C]linoleic acid was also observed in these species. In contrast, the pattern of fatty acid labelling in maize, pea and spinach leaves was unaffected by 0.1 mM Sandoz 9785. More generalized inhibition of the incorporation of radioactivity from [14C]acetate into the fatty acids of bryophytes and algae was seen. Sandoz 9785 did not alter the distribution of radioactivity in different lipid classes of higher plant leaves, nor did it change the proportions of radioactive fatty ac ids in phosphatidylcholine. In contrast to phosphatidylcholine, which never contained more than trace amounts of [14C]linolenate, diacylgalactosylglycerol contained high levels of the radioactive acid. The relative labelling of linolenate was severely reduced in diacylgalactosylglycerol by Sandoz 9785 in sensitive angiosperms. Uptake studies, in which [3H]Sandoz 9785 was employed demonstrated that the uptake of Sandoz 9785 was reflection of water uptake. Following its uptake, Sandoz 9785 was rapidly converted into other compounds in pea but only gradually metabolized in cucumber and ryegrass. The results are interpreted as showing, firstly, that the different sensitivity of higher plants to Sandoz 9785 is due to variations both in uptake and in metabolism. Secondly, Sandoz 9785 specifically inhibits the desaturation of linoleate to linolenate and, thirdly, diacylgalactosylglycerol plays a role in this conversion.  相似文献

Fatty acid biosynthesis in the leaves of barley, wheat and pea.   总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4       下载免费PDF全文
1. The incorporation of radioactivity from [1-14C]acetate into the leaf lipids of barley, pea and wheat has been studied in pulse-labelling experiments. 2. There was little increase in the total labelling of lipids after the leaves were transferred to non-radioactive medium. However, there was an increase in the relative labelling of unsaturated fatty acids. In addition, there was an increase in the relative labelling of diacylgalactosylglycerol. 3. The principal radioactively labelled acyl lipids were diacylgalactosylglycerol and phosphatidylcholine. Phosphatidylcholine showed a decreasing proportion of [14C]oleate and an increasing amount of [14C]linoleate with time. Diacylgalactosylglycerol also had decreasing amounts of [14C]oleate but, in addition, had an increasing proportion of [14C]linolenate with time. 4. The absence of significant amounts of [14C]linolenate in phosphatidylcholine appeared to exclude a role for this phospholipid in linoleate desaturation. 5. The specific radioactivities of oleate and linoleate in phosphatidylcholine, diacylgalactosylglycerol and diacylgalabiosylglycerol were very similar in any single experiment. It was concluded that these fatty acids can rapidly exchange between the three intact lipids.  相似文献

1. The patterns of incorporation of (14)C into glycerolipid fatty acids of developing maize leaf lamina from supplied [1-(14)C]acetate and from (14)CO(2) during steady-state photosynthesis were similar. Oleate of phosphatidylcholine and palmitate of phosphatidylglycerol attained linear rates of labelling more rapidly than did other fatty acids, particularly the linoleate and linolenate of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol. 2. After the transfer of lamina from labelled to unlabelled acetate, there was a decrease in labelled oleate and linoleate of phosphatidylcholine and a concomitant increase in the amount of radioactivity in the linoleate and linolenate of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol. 3. The rapidly labelled phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylglycerol, were shown by differential and sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation to be associated with different organelles, the former being mainly in a low-density membrane fraction, probably microsomal, and the latter mainly in chloroplasts. 4. During a 48h period after supplying spinach leaves with [(14)C]acetate, radioactivity was lost from the oleate of phosphatidylcholine present in fractions sedimented at 12000g and 105000g, and accumulated in the linolenate of monogalactosyl diacylglycerol of the chloroplast. 5. It is proposed that the phosphatidylcholine of some non-plastid membranes is intimately involved in the process of oleate desaturation and that this lipid serves as a donor of unsaturated C(18) fatty acids to other lipids, principally monogalactosyl diacylglycerol, of the chloroplasts.  相似文献

Some properties of a microsomal oleate desaturase from leaves.   总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13       下载免费PDF全文
1. When [1-14C]oleoyl-CoA was incubated with a pea-leaf homogenate oleate was both incorporated into microsomal 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine and released as the unesterified fatty acid. The proportion of oleate incorporated into this phospholipid was dependent on the relative amounts of thiol ester and microsomal preparation present in reactions. 2. At the concentrations of microsomal preparation and [14C]oleoyl-CoA used to study oleate desaturation the metabolism of the thiol ester was essentially complete after 5 min incubation, but the loss of label from 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate and the concomitant increase in radioactivity in the linoleate of this phospholipid proceeded at approximately linear rates over a 60 min period. The kinetics of labelling of unesterified linoleate was consistent with the view that this labelled fatty acid was derived from 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine. 3. Oleate desaturation required oxygen and with unwashed microsomal fractions was stimulated either by NADPH or by the 105 000g supernatant. Washed microsomal preparations did not catalyse desaturation, but actively was restored by the addition of NADPH, 105 000G supernatant or Sephadex-treated supernatant. NADPH could be replaced by NADH or NADP+, but not by NAD+. 4. Microsomal fractions from mature and immature maize lamina and expanding spinach leaves also rapidly incorporated oleate from ([14C]oleoyl-CoA into 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine, but desaturation of 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate was detected only with microsomal preparations from immature maize lamina. 5. It is proposed that leaf microsomal preparations posses an oleate desaturase for which 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine oleate is either the substrate or an immediate precursor of the substrate.  相似文献

The effects of the addition of hypolipidemic drugs and 1-acylglycerolipids on the metabolism of oleate in plants have been studied in vivo and in vitro. Using aged potato slices with [14C]oleate as a precursor, it was found that these drugs markedly inhibited both the incorporation into complex lipids and the desaturation of oleate to linoleate. Moreover, in vitro experiments, carried out with microsomes prepared from developing safflower seeds and [14C]oleate or [14C]oleoyl-CoA as precursors, confirmed the inhibitory effect of the drugs on oleate desaturation, and showed that while WY14643 mainly affected oleoyl thiokinase activity, DH990 exerted its strongest effect on the formation of PL, indicating that the mode of action of these two drugs in safflower microsomes is essentially different. Addition of LPC or LPE stimulated the incorporation of radiolabeled precursor into PC and PE, respectively, as well as the desaturation of oleate to linoleate when [14C]oleoyl-CoA was the precursor. The evidence obtained suggests that oleoyl-PE, as well as oleoyl-PC, should be considered as a possible substrate for oleate desaturation in plants.  相似文献

The patterns of incorporation of [l-14C]-acetate into the glycerolipid fatty acids of leaves of olive plants ( Olea europea L. cv. Chétoui) suggested a specific pathway for a-linolenic acid biosynthesis. The results confirmed the involvement of phosphati-dylcholine in galactolipid metabolism, and seemed to exclude the role of that mole-cule as a substrate for desaturation of oleate to linoleate. The two oleate desaturation steps seemed to occur rapidly on the diacylgalactosylglycerol molecule for biosynthesis of galactolipid linolenate. In addition, the results indicated a slow sequen-tial desaturation of oleate to linolenate via linoleate in the phospholipid molecules (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylglycerol).  相似文献

Exogenous [1-14C]oleic acid and [1-14C]linoleic acid were taken up and esterified to complex lipids by greening cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons. Both 14C-labeled fatty acids were initially esterified to phosphatidylcholine prior to eventual accumulation in triacylglycerols and galactolipids. Kinetic data suggest that esterification occurs prior to desaturation and that phosphatidylcholine is the initial site of both [14C]-oleate and [1-14C]linoleate esterification and of [1-14C]oleate desaturation to [1-14C]linoleate. [1-14C]Linoleic acid was esterified more rapidly than [14C]oleic acid and its desaturation product, [1-14C]α-linolenate, occurred mainly on monogalactosyl diacylglycerol, although some was also observed on the other major acyl lipids, including phosphatidylcholine.  相似文献

When [14C]diacylgalactosylglycerol was added to isolated pea or lettuce chloroplasts linolenate synthesis was seen. The desaturation of [14C]linoleate in diacylgalactosylglycerol to [14C]linolenate was stimulated by the addition of a soluble protein fraction containing lipid-exchange activity. Other [14C]acyl lipids were ineffective, except that [14C]phosphatidylcholine in the presence of UDP-galactose and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate could also supply [14C]linoleate for desaturation. These results are consistent with a role of diacylgalactosylglycerol in linolenate synthesis, as indirectly suggested by labelling experiments.  相似文献

1. [14C]Oleoyl-CoA was metabolized rapidly and essentially completely by microsomal preparations from developing safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) cotyledons, and most of the [14C]oleate was incorporated into 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine. 2. In aerobic reaction mixtures containing NADH2 the [14C]oleate in 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine was converted into [14C]linoleate without any change in the specific radioactivity of the lipid. Over a 60 min incubation period the extent of conversion of [14C]oleoyl phosphatidylcholine into [14C]linoleoyl phosphatidylcholine was generally greater than 60%. The rate of desaturation of endogenous [14C]oleoyl phosphatidylcholine labelled from [14C]oleoyl-CoA was much greater that of exogenous [14C]dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine the specific radioactivity of the oleoyl moiety of the lipid remained constant, indicating that labelled and unlabelled oleate were desaturated at the same rate. On this assumption an initial rate of desaturation of about 15 nmol of oleate desaturated/min per mumol of 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine was estimated. 4. [14C]Oleate esterified at positions 1 and 2 of both endogenous and exogenous 3-sn-phosphatidylcholine was desaturated. 5. Attempts to demonstrate the presence of an oleoyl-CoA desaturase in safflower microsomal fractions by the appearance of linoleoyl-CoA in reaction mixtures were inconclusive.  相似文献

1. Surgically prepared lactating goats were used to obtain quantitative information on the biohydrogenation and absorption of dietary fat, and on the mammary uptake and transfer into milk fat of the complex mixture of cis- and trans-isomers of octadecenoate that arise during ruminal biohydrogenation. 2. About 90% of dietary linolenate, linoleate and oleate was hydrogenated in the rumen, and the availability to the animals of the essential fatty acid, linoleate, represented only 0.5-1.5% of the total dietary energy. 3. The intra-ruminal administration of (14)C-labelled linolenate and linoleate showed that these acids were not absorbed from the rumen, in agreement with previous work. 4. No selectivity was observed in the metabolism of the geometrical and positional isomers of octadecenoate: their rates of absorption from the small intestine, transfer into lymph, uptake by the mammary gland and appearance in milk fat were similar. 5. The desaturase activity of intestinal epithelium was demonstrated by the appearance in lymph of [1-(14)C]oleate after the addition of [1-(14)C]stearate to the small intestine.  相似文献

Developing cotyledons of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) readily utilised exogenously supplied 14C-labelled fatty-acid substrates for the synthesis of triacylglycerols. The other major radioactive lipids were phosphatidylcholine and diacylglycerol. In safflower cotyledons, [14C]oleate was rapidly transferred to position 2 of sn-phosphatidylcholine and concomitant with this was the appearance of radioactive linoleate. The linoleate was further utilised in the synthesis of diacyl- and triacyl-glycerol via the reactions of the so-called Kennedy pathway. Supplying [14C]linoleate, however, resulted in a more rapid labelling of the diacylglycerols than from [14C]oleate. In contrast, sunflower cotyledons readily utilised both labelled acyl substrates for rapid diacylglycerol formation as well as incorporation into position 2 of sn-phosphatidylcholine. In both species, however, [14C]palmitate largely entered sn-phosphatidylcholine at position 1 during triacylglycerol synthesis. The results support our previous in-vitro observations with isolated microsomal membrane preparations that (i) the entry of oleate into position 2 of sn-phosphatidylcholine, via acyl exchange, for desaturation to linoleate is of major importance in regulating the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids available for triacylglycerol formation and (ii) Palmitate is largely excluded from position 2 of sn-phosphatidylcholine and enters this phospholipid at position 1 probably via the equilibration with diacylglycerol. Specie differences appear to exist between safflower and sunflower in relation to the relative importance of acyl exchange and the interconversion of diacylglycerol with phosphatidylcholine as mechanisms for the entry of oleate into the phospholipid for desaturation.Abbreviations FW fresh weight - TLC thin-layer chromatography  相似文献

Desaturation of oleoyl CoA by the microsomal fraction of Fusarium oxysporum hyphal cells required O2, NADPH, MgCl2, and the addition of either bovine serum albumin or the 105 000g supernatant fraction. In the absence of reduced nucleotide, [14C]oleoyl CoA was rapidly incorporated into phospholipid and triacylglycerol and hydrolyzed to free fatty acids. After addition of NADPH, oleate was desaturated at the normal rate. Analysis of the distribution of [14C]oleate and [14C]linoleate between different lipid classes revealed that phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were labeled with [14C]linoleate before any other lipid class. These results are consistent with oleoyl phospholipid being a direct intermediate in the desaturation of oleoyl CoA. The preference of the oleoyl-desaturase for NADPH, the relatively high pH optimum of 8.2, and the sensitivity to thenoyltrifluoroacetone inhibition suggest that some components of the microsomal electron-transport chain are common to both the oleoyl desaturase and stearoyl CoA desaturase systems in this fungus.  相似文献

The activities of enzymes catalysing glycollate oxidation, formate production and folate-dependent formate utilization were examined in the primary leaves of Hordeum vulgare cv Galt. Seedlings were grown for 6 days in darkness and then transferred to continuous light (500 μinsteins/m2 per sec) for up to 5 days. Cell-free extracts of the primary leaves contained glycollate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.1), 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase (EC 6.3.4.3), 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.5) and ability to enzymically decarboxylate glyoxylate. These activities increased during greening and at the end of the light treatment were 70–450% higher than etiolated controls. Greened primary leaves also incorporated [14C]formate at rates that were three- to four-fold higher than shown by etiolated leaves. The specific activity of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase was decreased by 20–35% when the leaves were greened in the presence of 10 mM hydroxysulphonate. This inhibitor also reduced the incorporation of [14C]formate by up to 45%. A potential flow of carbon from glycollate to 10-formyltetrahydrofolate via glyoxylate and formate was suggested by the data.  相似文献

The rapid senescence of the etiolated leaves of dark-grown barley seedlings in the dark is accompanied by the loss of those lipids associated with the plastids. The linolenate content of the plastid glycerolipids rapidly decreased whereas it tended to increase in the extraplastidic phospholipids. Kinetin treatment slowed down the loss of the plastid lipids and their constituent fatty acids. The hormone treatment brought about increased linolenate, particularly in phosphatidylcholine and monogalactosyldiacylglycerol. The senescing leaf attempts to adapt to ageing by increased membrane synthesis and/or membrane repair. Kinetin appears to control the sequential desaturation of oleate to linolenate.  相似文献
