Title: Chapter 16 (Part 3)


1
Chapter 16 (Part 3)
  • Fatty acid Synthesis

2
Fatty Acid Synthesis
  • In mammals fatty acid synthesis occurs primarily
    in the liver and adipose tissues
  • Also occurs in mammary glands during lactation.
  • Fatty acid synthesis and degradation go by
    different routes
  • There are four major differences between fatty
    acid breakdown and biosynthesis

3
The differences between fatty acid biosynthesis
and breakdown
  • Intermediates in synthesis are linked to -SH
    groups of acyl carrier proteins (as compared to
    -SH groups of CoA)
  • Synthesis in cytosol breakdown in mitochondria
  • Enzymes of synthesis are one polypeptide
  • Biosynthesis uses NADPH/NADP breakdown uses
    NADH/NAD

4
ACP vs. Coenzyme A
  • Intermediates in synthesis are linked to -SH
    groups of acyl carrier proteins (as compared to
    -SH groups of CoA)

5
Fatty Acid Synthesis Occurs in the Cytosol
  • Must have source of acetyl-CoA
  • Most acetyl-CoA in mitochondria
  • Citrate-malate-pyruvate shuttle provides
    cytosolic acetate units and reducing equivalents
    for fatty acid synthesis

6
Fatty Acid Synthesis
  • Fatty acids are built from 2-C units derived from
    acetyl-CoA
  • Acetate units are activated for transfer to
    growing FA chain by conversion to malonyl-CoA
  • Decarboxylation of malonyl-CoA and reducing power
    of NADPH drive chain growth
  • Chain grows to 16-carbons (eight acetyl-CoAs)
  • Other enzymes add double bonds and more Cs

7
Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
Acetyl-CoA HCO3- ATP ? malonyl-CoA ADP
  • The "ACC enzyme" commits acetate to fatty acid
    synthesis
  • Carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to form malonyl-CoA
    is the irreversible, committed step in fatty acid
    biosynthesis

8
Acetyl-CoACarboxylase
9
Regulation of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase)
  • ACCase forms long, active filamentous polymers
    from inactive protomers
  • Accumulation of palmitoyl-CoA (product) leads to
    the formation of inactive polymers
  • Accumulation of citrate leads to the formation of
    the active polymeric form
  • Phosphorylation modulates citrate activation and
    palmitoyl-CoA inhibition

10
Regulation of Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACCase)
  • Unphosphorylated ACCase has low Km for citrate
    and is active at low citrate
  • Unphosphorylated ACCase has high Ki for
    palmitoyl-CoA and needs high palmitoyl-CoA to
    inhibit
  • Phosphorylated E has high Km for citrate and
    needs high citrate to activate
  • Phosphorylated E has low Ki for palmitoyl-CoA and
    is inhibited at low palmitoyl-CoA

11
Fatty Acid Synthesis
  • Step 1 Loading transferring acetyl- and
    malonyl- groups from CoA to ACP
  • Step 2 Condensation transferring 2 carbon unit
    from malonyl-ACP to acetyl-ACP to form 2 carbon
    keto-acyl-ACP
  • Step 3 Reduction conversion of keto-acyl-ACP
    to hydroxyacyl-ACP (uses NADPH)
  • Step 4 Dehydration Elimination of H2O to form
    Enoyl-ACP
  • Step 5 Reduction Reduce double bond to form 4
    carbon fully saturated acyl-ACP

Termination of Fatty Acid Synthesis
Acyl-CoA synthetase
19
Organization of Fatty Acid Synthesis Enzymes
  • In bacteria and plants, the fatty acid synthesis
    reactions are catalyzed individual soluble
    enzymes.
  • In animals, the fatty acid synthesis reactions
    are all present on multifunctional polypeptide.
  • The animal fatty acid synthase is a homodimer of
    two identical 250 kD polypeptides.

Animal Fatty Acid Synthase
21
Further Processing of Fatty acids Desaturation
and Elongation
22
Regulation of FA Synthesis
  • Allosteric modifiers, phosphorylation and
    hormones
  • Malonyl-CoA blocks the carnitine acyltransferase
    and thus inhibits beta-oxidation
  • Citrate activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase
  • Fatty acyl-CoAs inhibit acetyl-CoA carboxylase
  • Hormones regulate ACC
  • Glucagon activates lipases/inhibits ACC
  • Insulin inhibits lipases/activates ACC

23
Allosteric regulation of fatty acid synthesis
occurs at ACCase and the carnitine acyltransferase
24
Glucagon inhibits fatty acid synthesis while
increasing lipid breakdown and fatty acid
b-oxidation Insulin prevents action of glucagon
