ACAD10 and ACAD11 allow entry of 4-hydroxy fatty acids into β-oxidation.

ABSTRACT: Hydroxylated fatty acids are important intermediates in lipid metabolism and signaling. Surprisingly, the metabolism of 4-hydroxy fatty acids remains largely unexplored. We found that both ACAD10 and ACAD11 unite two enzymatic activities to introduce these metabolites into mitochondrial and peroxisomal β-oxidation, respectively. First, they phosphorylate 4-hydroxyacyl-CoAs via a kinase domain, followed by an elimination of the phosphate to form enoyl-CoAs catalyzed by an acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACAD) domain. Studies in knockout cell lines revealed that ACAD10 preferentially metabolizes shorter chain 4-hydroxy fatty acids than ACAD11 (i.e. 6 carbons versus 10 carbons). Yet, recombinant proteins showed comparable activity on the corresponding 4-hydroxyacyl-CoAs. This suggests that the locali
