Identification of a novel insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid from H35 hepatoma cells 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
This study identifies and partially characterizes an insulin-sensitive glycophospholipid in H35 hepatoma cells. The incorporation of [3H]glucosamine into cell lipids was investigated. A major labeled lipid was purified by sequential thin layer chromatography using first an acid followed by a basic solvent system. After hydrochloric acid hydrolysis and sugar analysis by thin layer chromatography, 80% of the radioactivity in the purified lipid was found to comigrate with glucosamine. H35 cells were prelabeled with [3H]glucosamine for either 4 or 24 h and treated with insulin causing a dose-dependent stimulation of turnover of the glycophospholipid which was detected within 1 min. The purified glycolipid was cleaved by nitrous acid deamination indicating that the glucosamine C-1 was linked to the lipid moiety through a glycosidic bond. [14C]Ethanolamine, [3H]inositol, and [3H]sorbitol were not incorporated into the purified glycolipid. The incorporation of various fatty acids into this glycolipid was also studied. [3H]Palmitate was found to be preferentially incorporated while myristic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and arachidonic acid were either not incorporated or incorporated less than 10% of palmitate. The purified glycolipid labeled with [3H]palmitate was cleaved by treatment with phospholipase A2 but was resistant to mild alkali hydrolysis suggesting the presence of a 1-hexadecyl,2-palmitoyl-glyceryl moiety in the purified lipid. Treatment of labeled glycophospholipid with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C from Staphylococcus aureus generated a compound migrating as 1-alkyl,2-acyl-glycerol and a polar head group with a size in the range from 800 to 3500. These findings coupled with the nitrous acid deamination demonstrate that glucosamine was covalently linked through a phosphodiester bond to the glyceryl moiety of the purified glycolipid. These findings suggest that insulin acts on this glycophospholipid by stimulating an insulin-sensitive phospholipase C. This unique glycophospholipid may play an important role in insulin action by serving as precursor of insulin-generated mediators. 相似文献

1. The incorporation of d-[1-(14)C]mannose, d-[2-(3)H]mannose and N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]-glucosamine into glycoproteins and lipid-linked intermediates of mammary explants obtained from lactating rabbits was studied. The amount of radioactivity incorporated into lipid-linked intermediates was very low compared with the incorporation into protein. Most of the radioactivity incorporated into the chloroform/methanol-soluble fraction was present as neutral lipid. Radioactivity from d-[2-(3)H]mannose was incorporated mainly into the fatty acid moiety, whereas radioactivity from d-[1-(14)C]mannose and N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was present in the glycerol moiety of triacylglycerol. 2. The labelled lipid-linked intermediate that was soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (10:10:3, by vol.) was partially characterized and was found to exhibit properties characteristic of an oligosaccharide linked to lipid via a pyrophosphate bridge. It migrated largely as a single zone of radioactivity on t.l.c. and was eluted from a column of DEAE-cellulose acetate as a single peak by 50mm-ammonium acetate. 3. The oligosaccharide moiety was released from the lipid by mild acid hydrolysis. The size of the oligosaccharide was estimated by paper chromatography to be 10 or 11 monosaccharide units. 4. d-[1-(14)C]Mannose was incorporated largely into glycopeptides with molecular weights in the range 40000-80000, as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate. Label from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was incorporated into a glycopeptide with an electrophoretic mobility identical with that of rabbit casein (mol.wt. 32000) as well as into glycopeptides of higher molecular weight. 5. Approx. 50% of the total radioactivity in the protein labelled from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine was present as galactosamine, a component of the carbohydrate portion of rabbit casein. No labelled galactosamine was present in the lipid-linked oligosaccharide labelled from N-acetyl-d-[1-(14)C]glucosamine. It thus appears that the lipid-linked oligosaccharide is not involved in the glycosylation of casein. 相似文献

A particulate enzyme from bovine aorta catalyzes the incorporation of mannose from GDP-D-[14C]mannose into three products as follows: 1. Most of the radioactivity which is incorporated in short term incubations is into a product that is soluble in CHCl3/CH3OH (2/1, v/v). This product was purified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex LH-20. The purified glycolipid was stable to alkaline saponification but released [14C]mannose when subjected to mild acid hydrolysis (1/2 = 7 min at 100 degrees in 0.01 N HCl). The purified glycolipid had the same mobility on silica gel plates in an acidic, basic, or neutral solvent system as did glycolipid had the same mobility on silica gel plates in an acidic, basic, or neutral solvent system as did authentic dolichyl mannopyranosyl phosphate. The synthesis of the 14C-mannolipid was reversed by the addition of GDP and Mg2+. 2. [14C]mannose is also incorporated, although at a slower rate into products which are soluble in CHCl3/CH3OH/H2O (1/1/0.3, v/v). When the 1/10.3 soluble material was chromatographed on Avicel plates, it gave rise to three distinct radioactive bands which appear to be lipid-linked oligosaccharides. Mild acid hydrolysis of the 1/10.3 soluble material released water-soluble, neutral 14C-oligosaccharides which eluted from Sephadex G-50 in two or three peaks between the standards cytochrome c and GDP-mannose... 相似文献

To study the involvement of acyl carrier protein (ACP) in the metabolism of exogenous fatty acids in Vibrio harveyi, cultures were incubated in minimal medium with [9,10-3H]myristic acid, and labeled proteins were analyzed by gel electrophoresis. Labeled acyl-ACP was positively identified by immunoprecipitation with anti-V. harveyi ACP serum and comigration with acyl-ACP standards and [3H]beta-alanine-labeled bands on both sodium dodecyl sulfate- and urea-polyacrylamide gels. Surprisingly, most of the acyl-ACP label corresponded to fatty acid chain lengths of less than 14 carbons: C14, C12, C10, and C8 represented 33, 40, 14, and 8% of total [3H]14:0-derived acyl-ACPs, respectively, in a dark mutant (M17) of V. harveyi which lacks myristoyl-ACP esterase activity; however, labeled 14:0-ACP was absent in the wild-type strain. 14:0- and 12:0-ACP were also the predominant species labeled in complex medium. In contrast, short-chain acyl-ACPs (< or = C6) were the major labeled derivatives when V. harveyi was incubated with [3H]acetate, indicating that acyl-ACP labeling with [3H]14:0 in vivo is not due to the total degradation of [3H]14:0 to [3H]acetyl coenzyme A followed by resynthesis. Cerulenin increased the mass of medium- to long-chain acyl-ACPs (> or = C8) labeled with [3H]beta-alanine fivefold, while total incorporation of [3H]14:0 was not affected, although a shift to shorter chain lengths was noted. Additional bands which comigrated with acyl-ACP on sodium dodecyl sulfate gels were identified as lipopolysaccharide by acid hydrolysis and thin-layer chromatography. The levels of incorporation of [3H] 14:0 into acyl-ACP and lipopolysaccharide were 2 and 15%, respectively, of that into phospholipid by 10 min. Our results indicate that in contrast to the situation in Escherichia coli, exogenous fatty acids can be activated to acyl-ACP intermediates after partial degradation in V. harveyi and can effectively label products (i.e., lipid A) that require ACP as an acyl donor. 相似文献

Proline and hepatic lipogenesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of proline on lipogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes were determined and compared with those of lactate, an established lipogenic precursor. Proline or lactate plus pyruvate increased lipogenesis (measured with 3H2O) in hepatocytes from fed rats depleted of glycogen in vitro and in hepatocytes from starved rats. Lactate plus pyruvate but not proline increased lipogenesis in hepatocytes from starved rats. ( - )-Hydroxycitrate, an inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase, partially inhibited incorporation into saponifiable fatty acid of 3H from 3H2O and 14C from [U-14C]lactate with hepatocytes from fed rats. Incorporation of 14C from [U-14C]proline was completely inhibited. Similar complete inhibition of incorporation of 14C from [U-14C]proline by ( - )-hydroxycitrate was observed with glycogen-depleted hepatocytes or hepatocytes from starved rats. Inhibition of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase by 3-mercaptopicolinate did not inhibit the incorporation into saponifiable fatty acid of 3H from 3H2O or 14C from [U-14C]proline or [U-14C]lactate. Both 3-mercaptopicolinate and ( - )-hydroxycitrate increased lipogenesis (measured with 3H2O) in the absence or presence of lactate or proline with hepatocytes from starved rats. The results are discussed with reference to the roles of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, mitochondrial citrate efflux, ATP-citrate lyase and acetyl-CoA carboxylase in proline- or lactate-stimulated lipogenesis. 相似文献

1,2-Diacylglycerol (1,2,-DAG) plays an important role in the protein kinase C-mediated signal-transduction system. Several reports have shown that 1,2-DAG is generated through various pathways other than classical phospholipid hydrolysis. We observed a rapid incorporation of [3H]myristate into 1,2-DAG in platelet-derived-growth-factor (PDGF)-treated Balb/c 3T3 cells. [14C]Palmitate was similarly incorporated into 1,2-DAG. The effect of PDGF, which was inhibited by cycloheximide, became maximal after 60 min treatment with PDGF, and disappeared 300 min after removal of PDGF. Treatment with triacylglycerol lipase revealed that labelled saturated fatty acid was incorporated into the sn-1 position. PDGF barely stimulated incorporation of [3H]glycerol or [14C]glucose into 1,2-DAG. Incorporation of [3H]myristate into 1,2-DAG preceded that into triacyglycerol and phospholipids. These results suggest that synthesis of 1,2-DAG from monoacylglycerol is enhanced in PDGF-treated cells. However, there is no significant difference in the activity of monoacylglycerol acyltransferase measured in vitro in quiescent and PDGF-treated cells. The reason for this discrepancy is discussed. 相似文献

The deacylation and reacylation process of phospholipids is the major pathway of turnover and repair in erythrocyte membranes. In this paper, we have investigated the role of carnitine palmitoyltransferase in erythrocyte membrane phospholipid fatty acid turnover. The role of acyl-L-carnitine as a reservoir of activated acyl groups, the buffer function of carnitine, and the importance of the acyl-CoA/free CoA ratio in the reacylation process of erythrocyte membrane phospholipids have also been addressed. In intact erythrocytes, the incorporation of [1-14C]palmitic acid into acyl-L-carnitine, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine was linear with time for at least 3 h. The greatest proportion of the radioactivity was found in acyl-L-carnitine. Competition experiments using [1-14C]palmitic and [9,10-3H]oleic acid demonstrated that [9,10-3H]oleic acid was incorporated preferentially into the phospholipids and less into acyl-L-carnitine. When an erythrocyte suspension was incubated with [1-14C]palmitoyl-L-carnitine, radiolabeled palmitate was recovered in the phospholipid fraction, and the carnitine palmitoyltransferase inhibitor, 2-tetradecylglycidic acid, completely abolished the incorporation. ATP depletion decreased incorporation of [1-14C]palmitic and/or [9,10-3H]oleic acid into acyl-L-carnitine, but the incorporation into phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine was unaffected. In contrast, ATP depletion enhanced the incorporation into phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine of the radiolabeled fatty acid from [1-14C]palmitoyl-L-carnitine. These data are suggestive of the existence of an acyl-L-carnitine pool, in equilibrium with the acyl-CoA pool, which serves as a reservoir of activated acyl groups. The carnitine palmitoyltransferase inhibition by 2-tetradecylglycidic acid or palmitoyl-D-carnitine caused a significant reduction of radiolabeled fatty acid incorporation into membrane phospholipids, only when intact erythrocytes were incubated with [9,10-3H]oleic acid. These latter data may be explained by the differences in rates and substrates specificities between acyl-CoA synthetase and the reacylating enzymes for palmitate and oleate, which support the importance of carnitine palmitoyltransferase in modulating the optimal acyl-CoA/free CoA ratio for the physiological expression of the membrane phospholipids fatty acid turnover. 相似文献

The incorporation of [14C]-glycerol 3-phosphate and [3H]-palmitate into phosphatidic acid, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and triacylglycerols by lung microsomes from ventilated and unventilated rabbits was measured. Unventilated lung microsomes showed an impairment of the "de novo" synthesis of phosphatidic acid and, therefore, a general decrease of glycerolipids synthesized from glycerol 3-phosphate. The incorporation of [3H]-palmitate into phosphatidic acid was considerably lower than the incorporation of [14C]-glycerol 3-phosphate by lung microsomes from both ventilated and unventilated rabbits, and the 3H/14C molar ratio did not change during incubation time. These observations suggest the preferential utilization of endogenous fatty acids by acyltransferases involved in the formation of phosphatidic acid. The activities of the enzymes implicated in the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine from lysophosphatidylcholine remained unchanged in lung from both ventilated and unventilated rabbits. 相似文献

Effects of monensin on posttranslational processing of myelin proteins 总被引:13,自引:11,他引:2
Rat brain slices were incubated with [3H]palmitic acid and [14C]glycine to label the lipid and protein moieties, respectively, of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP). The effects of monensin on posttranslational processing of proteins were examined by measuring the appearance of [14C]glycine- and [3H]palmitate-labeled proteins in myelin and myelin-like fractions. At 0.01 and 0.10 microM, monensin did not appreciably affect total lipid or protein synthesis; higher concentrations caused increased inhibition. Monensin at 0.10 microM markedly decreased the appearance of [14C]glycine-labeled PLP in myelin, but had little effect on the 14C basic proteins or the incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid into total or myelin PLP. The same relative effect was apparent at higher monensin concentrations. In the myelin-like fraction, monensin at 0.10 microM also depressed entry of [14C]glycine into protein comigrating with PLP, and again had no effect on incorporation of [3H]palmitic acid. In addition, monensin increased the [3H]palmitate label associated with two high-molecular-weight proteins in the myelin-like fraction with no concomitant increase in [14C]glycine label. 相似文献

The tissue distribution and time course of incorporation into acid insoluble (bound) and acid soluble (free) fractions of [3H]2-fluorohistidine is compared to that of U[14C]Histidine in mouse tissues in vivo. The cycloheximide-sensitive incorporation of 2-FHis is between 9 and 17 percent of that of His. Unlike [14C]His a major fraction, approximately 90% at 72 hrs, of isotope derived from [3H]2-FHis remains in tissues for a prolonged period in an acid soluble form. The excretion of isotope derived from [14C]His (T1/2 = 5 hr) is more rapid than from [3H]2-FHis (T1/2 = 11.4 hrs). 2-FHis, at doses from 100 to 250 mg/kg produce a reversible inhibition of growth in mice. 相似文献

Homogeneous 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSD, EC 1.1.1.50) of rat liver cytosol is potently inhibited at its active site by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Using 3 alpha-bromoacetoxy-5 alpha-androstan-17-one (BrAnd, a substrate analog) and 11 alpha-bromoacetoxyprogesterone (Br11P, a glucocorticoid analog) as affinity-labeling agents, kinetic evidence was obtained that these agents alkylate this site. Inactivation of 3 alpha-HSD with either [14C]BrAnd or [14C] Br11P led to the incorporation of 1 mol of affinity-labeling agent per enzyme monomer. Complete acid hydrolysis of 3 alpha-HSD radiolabeled with either agent followed by amino acid analysis led to the identification of [14C]carboxymethylcysteine indicating that [14C]BrAnd and [14C]Br11P covalently tag discrete reactive cysteine(s) at the enzyme active site. Trypsin digestion of [14C]BrAnd-inactivated 3 alpha-HSD followed by peptide mapping led to the purification of a single radiolabeled peptide (3A1) which gave the following sequence: H2N-Ser-Ile-Gly-Val-Ser-Asn-Phe-Asn-X-Arg-CO2H. Identical experiments on [14C] Br11P-inactivated 3 alpha-HSD led to the purification of three radiolabeled peptides (11P1-11P3). The major radiolabeled peptide (11P1) had an identical sequence to 3A1 which was tagged with [14C]BrAnd. The minor radiolabeled peptides had the following sequences: H2N-Ser-Lys-Asp-Ile-Ile-Leu-Val-Ser-Tyr-X-Thr-Leu-Gly-Ser-Ser-Arg-CO2H (11P2) and H2N-Ser-Pro-Val-Leu-Leu-Asp-Asp-Pro-Val-Leu-X-Ala-Ile-Ala-Lys-CO2H (11P3). In each peptide group X was identified as carboxymethylcysteine. Alignment of the peptide sequences with the primary structure of 3 alpha-HSD, deduced from its cDNA clone, assigned peptide 11P1 to residues 162-171, peptide 11P2 to residues 208-223, and peptide 11P3 to residues 232-246 of the amino acid sequence. The reactive cysteines correspond to Cys170, Cys217, and Cys242. We propose that Cys170 labeled by BrAnd may lie within the catalytic pocket of the enzyme. By contrast the 11 alpha-bromoacetoxy group in Br11P labeled several reactive cysteines which may be involved in the binding of glucocorticoids and NSAIDs. 相似文献

This report describes studies designed to evaluate possible inhibitory effects of diaminoantifolates on folate-dependent biosynthetic enzymes in intact L1210 leukemia cells. A novel approach is described which involves an assessment of the metabolism of and biosynthetic flux of the one-carbon moiety from (6S)5-formyltetrahydrofolate in folate-depleted cells. Pretreatment with methotrexate (10 microM), resulting in the formation of methotrexate polyglutamates, or continuous incubation with trimetrexate (1 microM) inhibited growth of folate-depleted L1210 cells in the presence of folic acid or 5-formyltetrahydrolate. In both control and drug-treated cells, double-labeled (6S)-5-[14C]formyl[3H]tetrahydrofolate was rapidly metabolized with the loss of the [14C]formyl group. Under all conditions, the predominant metabolite was 10-formyl[3H]tetrahydrofolate, detectable both intracellularly and extracellularly. In drug-treated cells, there was a remarkably small decrease in the level of 10-formyl[3H]tetrahydrofolate (approximately 30%) and a 10-fold rise in the level of [3H]dihydrofolate to less than 20% of the total folate pool. The incorporation of [14C]formyl group from 5-[14C]formyltetrahydrofolate into thymidylate, serine, and methionine was unaffected by the presence of 1 microM trimetrexate, consistent with the generation of sufficient 5,10-[14C]methylenetetrahydrofolate to drive these reactions. Similarly, the presence of methotrexate polyglutamates had no effect at the level of amino acid synthesis; however, carbon transfer into thymidylate was markedly inhibited. Even though 10-formyltetrahydrofolate was readily formed from 5-formyltetrahydrofolate in this model, the net incorporation of 14C from 5-[14C]formyltetrahydrofolate into purine nucleotides was inhibited by both methotrexate and trimetrexate treatments. Similar findings were obtained when [14C]glycine incorporation into purine nucleotides was monitored in cells incubated with unlabeled 5-formyltetrahydrofolate. Finally, in antifolate-treated cells incubated with unlabeled 5-formyl-tetrahydrofolate, transfer of 14C from [14C]formate or [14C]serine into biosynthetic products or incorporation of [3H]deoxyuridine into nucleic acids was potently inhibited. These results suggest that insufficient levels of tetrahydrofolate and 5, 10-methylenetetrahydrofolate were formed to drive these reactions despite the presence of high levels of 10-formyltetrahydrofolate.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The rate of production of 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PAF) and 1-acyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (acylPAF) was measured in macrophages following the incorporation of [3H]acetate. Upon activation by A23187, guinea pig alveolar macrophages incorporated [3H]acetate into PAF, but a little radioactivity was found in acylPAF. However, labeling of acylPAF and PAF with [3H]acetate was greatly enhanced in A23187-stimulated alveolar macrophages that had been pretreated with phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride (PMSF). [3H]PAF was predominantly converted to 1-[3H]alkyl-2-acyl glycerophosphocholine, but [14C]acylPAF rapidly hydrolyzed to 14C-labeled free fatty acid by the incubation with lysates prepared from macrophages. The deacetylation of [14C]acylPAF and [3H]PAF by acetylhydrolase and also the hydrolysis of [14C]lysoPC by lysophospholipase were strongly inhibited in macrophages that had been pretreated with PMSF, while PMSF failed to inhibit the activities of acetyltransferase and acyltransferase. The relative proportions of PAF and acylPAF were quite different in different types of cells. In contrast to alveolar macrophages, peritoneal macrophages, neutrophils and spleen cells from guinea pigs incorporated 2-4 times more [3H]acetate into acylPAF than into PAF. The presence of high levels of acylPAF in peritoneal macrophages was confirmed by GLC-MS analysis. The activities of lysophospholipase, acetylhydrolase and acetyltransferase were measured in alveolar and peritoneal macrophages to determine whether the preferential formation of acylPAF as compared to PAF in peritoneal macrophages was due to differences in these activities between alveolar and peritoneal macrophages. The activity of acetylhydrolase of peritoneal macrophages was almost the same as that in alveolar macrophages. The activity of acetyltransferase in peritoneal macrophages was about half of that in alveolar macrophages. However, the activity of lysophospholipase in peritoneal macrophages was one-sixth of that in alveolar macrophages. These results suggest that lysophospholipase is one of the primary factors involved in the control of the production of acylPAF in activated cells, and that it acts by modulating the availability of lysoPC for the synthesis of acylPAF. Furthermore, high levels of activity of lysophospholipase allow the preferential formation of PAF, via the rapid hydrolysis of lysoPC which would act as a competitive inhibitor of the incorporation of acetate into lysoPAF. 相似文献

Acylation of bovine rhodopsin by [3H]palmitic acid 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Bovine retinas or preparations of rod outer segments incorporate [3H]palmitic acid into rhodopsin. The incorporation is both time- and temperature-dependent. The major product retains the chromatographic and electrophoretic properties of rhodopsin and remains photosensitive as demonstrated by alteration of its chromatographic behavior upon exposure to light. The incorporated radioactivity resists extraction with organic solvents and is not dissociated from the protein by detergents or under the denaturing conditions of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Radioactive free fatty acid can, however, be released by alkaline hydrolysis. Hydroxylamine treatment yields a mixture of the free fatty acid and the fatty acyl hydroxamate. These results demonstrate the formation of an ester bond between [3H]palmitic acid and rhodopsin. Cycloheximide fails to inhibit the incorporation. This finding along with the ability of rod outer segments to support the incorporation point to the acylation of rhodopsin as a late post-translational event. 相似文献

1. When rat isolated fat-cells were incubated with fructose and palmitate, insulin significantly stimulated glyceride synthesis as measured by either [14C]fructose incorporation into the glycerol moiety or of [3H]palmitate incorporation into the acyl moiety of tissue glycerides. Under certain conditions the effect of insulin on glyceride synthesis was greater than the effect of insulin on fructose uptake. 2. In the presence of palmitate, insulin slightly stimulated (a) [14C]pyruvate incorporation into glyceride glycerol of fat-cells and (b) 3H2O incorporation into glyceride glycerol of incubated fat-pads. 3. At low extracellular total concentrations of fatty acids (in the presence of albumin), insulin stimulated [14C]fructose, [14C]pyruvate and 3H2O incorporation into fat-cell fatty acids. Increasing the extracellular fatty acid concentration greatly inhibited fatty acid synthesis from these precursors and also greatly decreased the extent of apparent stimulation of fatty acid synthesis by insulin. 4. These results are discussed in relation to the suggestion [A.P. Halestrap & R.M.Denton (1974) Biochem. J. 142, 365-377] that the tissue may contain a specific acyl-binding protein which is subject to regulation. It is suggested that an insulin-sensitive enzyme component of the glyceride-synthesis process may play such a role. 相似文献

Incorporation of arachidonic acid into 1-acyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine of the human neutrophil 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this study, the initial incorporation of arachidonic acid into human neutrophils has been examined. Neutrophils pulse labeled for 5 min with [3H]arachidonic acid rapidly incorporated this fatty acid into 1,2-diacylglycerophosphocholine. However, when neutrophils were pulse labeled with [3H]arachidonic acid for 5 min, washed, and allowed to incubate for an additional 120 min, the relative amount of [3H]arachidonic acid increased in alkylacylglycerophosphocholine molecular species. Similar, when neutrophils were pulse labeled, washed, and allowed to incubate in the presence of 30 microM unlabeled arachidonic acid for 120 min, [3H]arachidonic acid was also remodeled into alkylacylglycerophosphocholine. These results implied that the initial incorporation of [3H]arachidonic acid proceeded via a free fatty acid intermediate into 1,2-diacyl-GPC, while the subsequent remodeling of arachidonate-containing glycerophospholipids did not. This initial incorporation was further investigated in a number of cell-free systems. Disrupted neutrophils incubated with [14C]arachidonoyl-CoA incorporated [14C]arachidonic acid into 1,2-diacyl-GPC containing 16:0, 18:0, and 18:1 at their sn-1 position in a pattern similar to that seen when whole neutrophils were incubated with arachidonic acid for 5 min. A small percentage of [14C]arachidonate from [14C]arachidonoyl-CoA was incorporated into 1-alkyl-2-acyl-GPC. The enzymatic activity responsible was found predominately in the membrane fraction of the broken cell preparation. This selectivity of the CoA-dependent acyltransferase for 1-acyl-linked glycerophosphocholine was further examined by adding [14C]arachidonoyl-CoA and various 1-radyl-2-lyso-GPC to neutrophil membrane preparations. These studies provide evidence that the initial incorporation of arachidonic acid into sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine takes place by an arachidonoyl-CoA: lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase(s) which is selective for the 1-acyl-2-lyso-GPC. 相似文献

Cell-free enzyme particles from mung bean seedlings catalyze the incorporation of mannose from GDP-[14C]mannose and GlcNAc from UDP-[3H]GlcNAc into glycolipids and into glycoprotein. The most rapidly labeled product from GDP-mannose was characterized as a mannosyl-phosphoryl-polyisoprenol, whereas that from UDP-GlcNAc was a mixture of GlcNAc-(pyro)phosphoryl-polyisoprenol and a disaccharide composed of two N-acetylglucosamine residues attached to the polyisoprenol by a phosphoryl or pyrophosphoryl linkage. Radioactivity from GDP-mannose and UDP-GlcNAc was also incorporated into more polar lipids which have been partially characterized as a series of oligosaccharide-(pyro)phosphoryl-lipids. The mannose-labeled oligosaccharides released from these lipids by mild acid hydrolysis were found to contain GlcNAc at their reducing end indicating that these oligosaccharides contain both GlcNAc and mannose. Both the GlcNAc-labeled and the mannose-labeled oligosaccharides gave multiple radioactive peaks upon paper chromatography indicating that they are composed of a series of different sized oligosaccharides. Finally, radioactivity from GDP-[14C]mannose and UDP-[3H]GlcNAc is incorporated into an insoluble component. Ten percent of the mannose label and all of the GlcNAc label in this insoluble material could be solubilized by digestion with Pronase. The glycopeptides released by Pronase digestion appeared to be approximately the same size as the oligosaccharides from the lipid-linked oligosaccharides based on gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50. The results are consistent with a mechanism for glycoprotein synthesis involving lipid-linked oligosaccharide intermediates. 相似文献

Hydrolysis of chylomicron arachidonate and linoleate ester bonds by lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Chylomicrons labeled with [3H]arachidonic and [14C]linoleic acid were incubated with bovine milk lipoprotein lipase or rat postheparin plasma, containing both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. During incubation with bovine lipoprotein lipase, [3H]arachidonic acid was released from chylomicron triacylglycerols at a slower rate than [14C]linoleic acid. Only small amounts of [14C]linoleic acid were found as 1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerols, whereas a transient accumulation as [14C]monoacylglycerols was observed. In contrast, significantly more [3H]arachidonic acid was found as 1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerols than as monoacylglycerols at all time intervals investigated. The initial pattern of triacylglycerol hydrolysis by postheparin plasma was similar to that of bovine lipoprotein lipase. However, in contrast to the results obtained with bovine lipoprotein lipase, little [3H]1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerol accumulated. The addition of antiserum to hepatic lipase increased the amount of 3H found in 1,2(2,3)-diacylglycerols and inhibited the formation of free [3H]arachidonic acid. The antiserum also caused a significant inhibition of the hydrolysis of [3H]-but not of [14C]triacylglycerol. With regard to chylomicron phospholipids, the rate of hydrolysis of [14C]linoleoyl phosphatidylcholine with milk lipoprotein lipase was twofold higher than that of the [3H]arachidonyl phosphatidylcholine. However, the hepatic lipase of postheparin plasma had similar activity towards the two phosphatidylcholine species. Postheparin plasma rapidly hydrolyzed chylomicron 3H-labeled and 14C-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine to the same degree, and lipoprotein lipase similarly hydrolyzed 3H-labeled and 14C-labeled phosphatidylethanolamine at approximately equal rates. Antiserum to hepatic lipase inhibited the postheparin plasma hydrolysis of phosphatidylethanolamine and 3H-labeled phosphatidylcholine by about 60%, but the 14C-labeled phosphatidylcholine by only 27%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Challenge of human A375 melanoma cells with sodium arsenite induced the synthesis of stress proteins and stimulated [3H]mannose incorporation into a novel component migrating on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular mass of 14 kDa (designated M14). Enhanced M14 expression was elicited by heavy metals (zinc, copper, cadmium, and nickel), thiol-reactive agents (iodoacetamide and auranofin), and hyperthermia. The kinetics of M14 induction and recovery from stress were similar to those of the stress proteins, but M14 half-life was only 15 min. Incorporation of [3H]mannose into M14 was inhibited by tunicamycin but not by cycloheximide or actinomycin D. M14 was metabolically labeled with [32P]orthophosphate but not by [35S] methionine or [3H]asparagine. Further studies revealed that M14 was selectively soluble in chloroform/methanol/water (10:10:3) and sensitive to both endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H digestion and mild acid hydrolysis. The latter released a water-soluble mannose-labeled moiety which eluted from Bio-Gel P-6 in a manner similar to Glc3Man9GlcNAc2. Together, these data suggest that M14 is a lipid-oligosaccharide intermediate of N-linked protein glycosylation and that enhanced expression of this class of molecule in response to chemical insults and hyperthermia is a newly described cellular reaction to stress. 相似文献

1. The effects of ethanol on fatty acid synthesis, esterification and oxidation were studied in hepatocytes isolated from fed and 24 hr fasted rats. 2. [3H]H2O was preferentially incorporated into the glycerol backbone of triglycerides and phospholipids. Addition of ethanol markedly increased the incorporation of this label in both classes of glycerolipids; the increase was higher in fasted rat hepatocytes, both in the glycerol backbone and acyl groups of glycerolipids. 3. Ethanol increased [U-14C]palmitate incorporation into triglycerides only in hepatocytes from fasted rats. 4. [14C]CO2 and total acid soluble product formation from [1-14C]palmitate resulted inhibited by ethanol both in the fed and the fasted state. 相似文献
