Abstract:
Liver carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (L-CPT I) catalyses the transfer of long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) for translocation across the mitochondrial membrane. Expression of the L-CPT I gene is induced by LCFAs as well as by lipid-lowering compounds such as clofibrate. Previous studies have suggested that the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) is a common mediator of the transcriptional effects of LCFA and clofibrate. We found that free LCFAs rather than acyl-CoA esters are the signal metabolites responsible for the stimulation of L-CPT I gene expression. Using primary culture o

Abstract:
Efficient uptake and channeling of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are critical cellular functions. Although spontaneous flip-flop of nonionized LCFAs from one leaflet of a bilayer to the other is rapid, evidence is emerging that proteins are important mediators and/or regulators of trafficking of LCFAs into and within cells. Genetic screens have led to the identification of proteins that are required for fatty acid import and utilization in prokaryotic organisms. In addition, functional screens have elucidated proteins that facilitate fatty acid import into mammalian cells. Although the mechan

Abstract Little is known about how effector CD8 T cells obtain exogenous long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) during T cell activation. LCFAs assist with membrane biogenesis and are required for rapid proliferation as well as effector molecule generation. One potential mechanism of fatty acid import is in the form of lysophophatidylcholine (LPC) by lipid carrier major facilitator superfamily domain containing 2a (MFSD2A). Here, we show that MFSD2A is highly expressed in activated CD8 T cells. Conditional loss of MFSD2A caused an altered effector response and resulted in defective memory cell formati

The liver expresses high levels of two proteins with high affinity for long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs): liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP-2). Real-time confocal microscopy of cultured primary hepatocytes from gene-ablated (L-FABP, SCP-2/SCP-x, and L-FABP/SCP-2/SCP-x null) mice showed that the loss of L-FABP reduced cellular uptake of 12- N-methyl-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazo)-aminostearic acid (a fluorescent-saturated LCFA analog) by ∼50%. Importantly, nuclear targeting of the LCFA was enhanced when L-FABP was upregulated (SCP-2/SCP-x null) but was sign

ABSTRACT Fatty acid transport protein 1 (FATP1), a member of the FATP/Slc27 protein family, enhances the cellular uptake of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and is expressed in several insulin-sensitive tissues. In adipocytes and skeletal muscle, FATP1 translocates from an intracellular compartment to the plasma membrane in response to insulin. Here we show that insulin-stimulated fatty acid uptake is completely abolished in FATP1-null adipocytes and greatly reduced in skeletal muscle of FATP1-knockout animals while basal LCFA uptake by both tissues was unaffected.

Liver fatty-acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is a cytoplasmic polypeptide that binds with strong affinity especially to long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs). It is highly expressed in both the liver and small intestine, where it is thought to have an essential role in the control of the cellular fatty acid (FA) flux. Because expression of the gene encoding L-FABP is increased by both fibrate hypolipidaemic drugs and LCFAs, it seems to be under the control of transcription factors, termed peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), activated by fibrate or FAs.
