Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis coordinates mitochondrial oxidative metabolism

Project description:Cells harbor two systems for the synthesis of fatty acids, one in the cytoplasm (FASN or fatty acid synthase) and one in the mitochondria (mtFAS). In contrast to FASN, mtFAS is poorly characterized, with the major product(s), metabolic roles, and cellular function(s) essentially unknown. Here we show that hypomorphic mtFAS mutants display a profound loss of electron transport chain (ETC) complexes and exhibit compensatory reductive carboxylation. This effect on ETC complexes is independent of the synthesis of lipoic acid, the best characterized function of mtFAS, as mutants lacking lipoic acid synthesis have an intact ETC. Finally, mtFAS impairment blocks the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts in vitro. These data suggest that ETC activity in mammals is profoundly controlled by mtFAS function, thereby connecting anabolic fatty acid synthesis with the oxidation of carbon fuels.

Medium chain unsaturated fatty acid ethyl esters inhibit persister formation of Escherichia coli via antitoxin HipB

Project description:Persisters represent a small bacterial population that is dormant and that survives under antibiotic treatment without experiencing genetic adaptation. Persisters are also considered one of the major reasons for recalcitrant chronic bacterial infections. Although several mechanisms of persister formation have been proposed, it is not clear how cells enter the dormant state in the presence of antibiotics or how persister cell formation can be effectively controlled. A fatty acid compound, cis-2-decenoic acid, was reported to decrease persister formation as well as revert the dormant cells to a metabolically active state. We reasoned that some fatty acid compounds may be effective in controlling bacterial persistence because they are known to benefit host immune systems. This study investigated persister cell formation by pathogens that were exposed to nine fatty acid compounds during antibiotic treatment. We found that three medium chain unsaturated fatty acid ethyl esters (ethyl trans-2-decenoate, ethyl trans-2-octenoate, and ethyl cis-4-decenoate) decreased the level of Escherichia coli persister formation up to 110-fold when cells were exposed to ciprofloxacin or ampicillin antibiotics. RNA sequencing analysis and gene deletion persister studies elucidated that these fatty acids inhibit bacterial persistence by regulating antitoxin HipB. A similar persister cell reduction was observed for pathogenic E. coli EDL933, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, and Serratia marcescens ICU2-4 strains. This study demonstrates that fatty acid ethyl esters can be used to disrupt bacterial dormancy to combat persistent infectious diseases.

Inhibition of de novo fatty acid synthesis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Project description:De novo fatty acid synthesis produces the acyl units needed to generate phospholipids, lipoproteins, enzyme prosthetic factors, polyketides, and mycolic acids in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Here, we identifed sALT629, a novel butoxyphenyl-tetrazole-acetamide compound that inhibits de novo lipid synthesis in Mtb. This compound disrupts the Mtb lipidome and prevents incorporation of metabolic tracers into acyl chains of Mtb lipids. Unexpectedly, we also found that sALT629 treatment significantly depleted triacylglycerol (TAG) pools as a metabolic compensation mechanism when de novo fatty acid synthesis was inhibited. Resistance to sALT629 was mediated by loss of function mutations in HadC, the non-essential hydroxyacyl-ACP-dehydratase subunit involved in the synthesis of long-chain oxygenated mycolic acids. Inactivating HadC rescued sALT629-mediated inhibition by sustaining TAG pools to fulfill Mtb’s biosynthetic demand for acyl chains. Lastly, loss of function HadC resistance mutations resulted in cell wall perturbations that confer fitness defects in vitro and in vivo suggesting that this specific resistance mechanism is unlikely to arise in Mtb in a clinical setting.

Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis coordinates oxidative metabolism in mammalian mitochondria

Project description:Cells harbor two systems for fatty acid synthesis, one in the cytoplasm (catalyzed by fatty acid synthase, FASN) and one in the mitochondria (mtFAS). In contrast to FASN, mtFAS is poorly characterized, especially in higher eukaryotes, with the major product(s), metabolic roles, and cellular function(s) being essentially unknown. Here we show that hypomorphic mtFAS mutant mouse skeletal myoblast cell lines display a severe loss of electron transport chain (ETC) complexes and exhibit compensatory metabolic activities including reductive carboxylation. This effect on ETC complexes appears to be independent of protein lipoylation, the best characterized function of mtFAS, as mutants lacking lipoylation have an intact ETC. Finally, mtFAS impairment blocks the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts in vitro. Together, these data suggest that ETC activity in mammals is profoundly controlled by mtFAS function, thereby connecting anabolic fatty acid synthesis with the oxidation of carbon fuels.

Proteome analysis related to unsaturated fatty acid synthesis by interfering bovine adipocyte ACSL1 gene

Project description:Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) in beef are essential for human health. Long-chain fatty acyl-CoA synthase 1 (ACSL1) is a crucial gene for UFAs synthesis in bovine adipocytes. To assess the protein expression profile during UFAs synthesis, we performed a proteomic analysis of bovine adipocytes by RNA interference and non-interference with ACSL1 using label-free techniques.
