Project description:Comparative analysis of changes in gene and protein expression and fatty acid profiles between Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 ΔfadD ΔaraBAD expressing an acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase from Umbellularia californica (BTE) or a non-functional mutant thioesterase (BTE-H204A) to determine the functional basis for losses in cell viability, membrane integrity, or other stresses and metabolic perturbations that may be present. New hypotheses obtained from the study will assist in metabolic engineering efforts of improved strains exhibiting higher fatty acid yields and productivities.

Project description:Here, we identified a long-chain acyl-CoA-responsive transcriptional repressor, FdmR, as the key regulator of mycobacterial fatty acid catabolism. We employed ChIP-Seq to identify the genomic binding regions for FdmR. FdmR was found to bind upstream of fadA2, fabG4, fadE24, fixA, MMAR_1683, fadE5, icl, desA3, desA3_1, and MMAR_2730.We then demonstrated that FdmR acts as a valve to direct the fatty acid flux from β-oxidation towards lipid biosynthesis, thereby avoiding the overactive catabolism and accumulation of biologically toxic intermediates. This regulatory mechanism enables a high rate of cell growth with modest consumption of fatty acid substrates.

Project description:Atlantic salmon can synthesize polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), such as eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5n-3), arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) via activities of very long chain fatty acyl elongases (elovls) and fatty acyl desaturases (fads), albeit to a limited degree. Understanding molecular mechanisms of PUFA biosynthesis and regulation is a pre-requisite for sustainable use of vegetable oils in aquafeeds as current sources of fish oils are unable to meet increasing demands for omega-3 PUFAs. By generating CRISPR-mediated elovl2 knockout, we have shown that elovl2 is crucial for multi-tissue synthesis of 22:6n-3 in vivo and endogenously synthesized PUFAs are important for transcriptional regulation of lipogenic genes in Atlantic salmon. The elovl2 knockouts showed reduced levels of 22:6n-3 and accumulation of 20:5n-3 and docosapentaenoic acid (22:5n-3) in the liver, brain and white muscle, suggesting inhibition of elongation. Additionally, elovl2-knockout salmon showed accumulation of 20:4n-6 in the brain and white muscle. The impaired synthesis of 22:6n-3 induced hepatic expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (srebp-1), fatty acid synthase-b, Δ6fad-a, Δ5fad and elovl5. Our study demonstrates key roles of elovl2 at two penultimate steps of PUFA synthesis in vivo and suggests Srebp-1 as a main regulator of PUFA synthesis in Atlantic salmon.

Project description:we used two contrasting maize genotypes with differential oil accumulation percentage. High oil content (HOC) maize had 11% oil content while low oil content (LOC) maize had significantly lower oil content (5.4%). Transmission electron microscopy revealed a higher accumulation of oil bodies in the HOC maize embryo as compared to LOC maize. Comparative RNA-sequencing analysis at different developmental stages of seed embryo identified 739 genes that are constantly differentially expressed (DEGs) at all the six developmental stages from 15 days after pollination (DAP) to 40 DAP. KEGG enrichment analysis identified fatty acid metabolism and fatty acid biosynthesis as the most enriched biological pathways contributed by these DEGs. Notably, transcriptional changes are more intense at the early stages of embryo development as compared to later stages. In addition, pathways related to oil biosynthesis and their corresponding genes were more enriched at 30 DAP, which seems to be the key stage for oil accumulation. The study also identified 33 key DEGs involved in fatty acid and triacylglycerols biosynthesis, most of them were up-regulated in HOC, which may shape the differential oil contents in the two contrasting maize. Notably, we uncovered that both acyl-CoA-dependent and acyl-CoA-independent processes are essential for the high oil accumulation in maize embryo.

Project description:Comparative analysis of changes in gene and protein expression and fatty acid profiles between Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 ΔfadD ΔaraBAD expressing an acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase from Umbellularia californica (BTE) or a non-functional mutant thioesterase (BTE-H204A) to determine the functional basis for losses in cell viability, membrane integrity, or other stresses and metabolic perturbations that may be present. New hypotheses obtained from the study will assist in metabolic engineering efforts of improved strains exhibiting higher fatty acid yields and productivities. Cultures of fatty acid overproducing (BTE-expressing) and negative control (non-functional BTE-H204A-expressing) strains of Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655 delta-fadD delta-araBAD (deficient in beta-oxidation and L-arabinose catabolism) were sampled under two different sets of media/induction/antibiotic conditions. These conditions were shake flasks at 37C, 250 rpm shaking, in EZ rich defined medium supplemented with 0.2% glucose and 0.01 mM biotin (EZglu), and in fermentors at 37C with controlled air sparging, agitation, and pH in EZ rich defined medium supplemented with 0.4% glycerol and 0.01 mM biotin (EZgly). Two strains were analyzed in the EZglu experiment, the background strain harboring either pTrc99A-BTE (fatty acid overproducing) or pTrc99A-BTE-H204A (control phenotype). Three strains were analyzed in the EZgly experiment, with the background strain haboring either pBAD35-BTE and pBAD33 (fatty acid overproducing), pBAD35-BTE and pBAD33-ACC (fatty acid overproducing, ACC are the 4 subunits of E. coli K-12 acetyl-CoA carboxylase expressed as an artificial operon accDABC in plasmid pBAD33), and pBAD35-BTE-H204A and pBAD33 (control phenotype). RNA was extracted from harvested cell pellets from biological triplicates (EZglu) or biological duplicates (EZgly) of each strain at three different sampling times as defined in each sample description. Due to a hybridization or scanning problem, biological duplicates rather than triplicates were analyzed at the mid-stationary phase sampling point in the EZglu experiment for the control strain harboring pTrc99A-BTE-H204A. Multiple technical replicates at either the hybridization or sample level were analyzed from the biological duplicates of the fermentor experiment. The form of technical replicate (sample or hybridization) is specified in each EZgly sample description.

Project description:Quorum sensing is a term used to describe cell-to-cell communication that allows cell density-dependent gene expression. Many Gram-negative bacteria use acyl-homoserine lactone (acyl-HSL) synthases to generate fatty acyl-HSL quorum sensing signals, which function with signal receptors to control expression of specific genes. The fatty acyl group is derived from fatty acid biosynthesis and provides signal specificity, but the variety of signals is limited. We have discovered that the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris uses an acyl-HSL synthase to produce p-coumaroyl-HSL by using environmental p-coumaric acid rather than fatty acids from cellular pools. The bacterium has a signal receptor with homology to fatty acyl-HSL receptors that responds to p-coumaroyl-HSL to regulate global gene expression. We also found that p-coumaroyl-HSL is made by other bacteria including Bradyrhizobium BTAi1 and Silicibacter pomeroyi DSS-3. This discovery extends the range of possibilities for acyl-HSL quorum sensing and raises fundamental questions about quorum sensing within the context of environmental signaling. Keywords: Comparison of transcriptome profiles Transcriptome profiles between Rhodopseudomonas palustris cells grown in the in the presence or absence of pC-HSL were compared.

Project description:We identified that HK2 facilitate the maintenance and self-renewal of liver cancer stem cells (CSCs). Moreover, HK2 exerts its function by enhancing the accumulation of acetyl-CoA and epigenetically activating the transcription of acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4), leading to an increase in fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) activity.

Project description:Nudix hydrolase 7 (NUDT7) is a peroxisomal (acyl-)CoA-degrading enzyme that is highly expressed in the liver. We previously showed that liver-specific NUDT7 overexpression affects peroxisomal lipid metabolism, but does not prevent the increase in total liver CoA levels that occurs with fasting. Herein, we show that deletion of Nudt7 alters the composition of the hepatic acyl-CoA pool in mice fed a low fat diet, but only in males fed a western diet does the lack of NUDT7 increase total liver CoA levels. This effect is driven by the accumulation of medium-chain dicarboxylic acyl-CoAs, which are products of the oxidation of dicarboxylic fatty acids in the peroxisomes. We also show that, under conditions of increased cholesterol intake and elevated bile acid synthesis, Nudt7 deletion increases the production of tauro-muricholic acids, decreasing the hydrophobicity index of the intestinal bile acid pool and increasing fecal cholesterol excretion. Collectively, our findings reveal a key role for NUDT7 in the regulation of the final products of bile acid synthesis and dicarboxylic fatty acid oxidation

Project description:Soybean oil consumption is increasing worldwide and parallels the obesity epidemic in the U.S. Rich in unsaturated fats, especially linoleic acid, soybean oil is assumed to be healthy, and yet it induces obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and fatty liver in mice. The genetically modified soybean oil Plenish came on the U.S. market in 2014: it is low in linoleic acid and similar to olive oil in fatty acid composition. Here we show that Plenish induces less obesity than conventional soybean oil: metabolomics, proteomics and a transgenic mouse model implicate oxylipin metabolites of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids (linoleic and α-linolenic acid, respectively), which are generated by target genes of nuclear receptor HNF4α. While Plenish induces less insulin resistance than conventional soybean oil, it results in hepatomegaly and liver dysfunction as does olive oil. Altering the fatty acid profile of soybeans could help reduce obesity but may also cause liver complications.
