Abstract:

With crude oil demand rising and supplies being depleted, alternative energy, specifically biofuels, are of intense scientific interest. Current plant crop based biofuels suffer from several problems, most importantly the use of land needed for food. Cyanobacteria offer a solution to this problem as they do not compete with land for food and produce hydrocarbons that can be used as biofuels. Upon examination of metabolic pathways competing with hydrocarbon synthesis, it appeared that cyanobacteria lacked the major fatty acid degradative metabolic pathway β-oxidation, generally thought to be a

During the fed state energy requirements are met by glycolysis of carbohydrates. When the stores of carbohydrates are diminished, for example during prolonged fasting, metabolism switches to that of fatty acids. Fatty acids are broken down by fi-oxidation within the mitochondrial matrix. Prolonged fasting results in the production of ketone bodies. These can also be used as an energy source by the brain.

Abstract:

Pathways for the biosynthesis of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and other polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were elucidated in two heterotrophic, marine microalgae; Schizochytrium sp. and Crypthecodinium cohnii. PUFA-requiring auxotrophs of both of these algae were created and used as tools for studying PUFA biosynthetic pathways. Additionally, equilibrium radio-labeling techniques were applied to algal cultures fed 14C-fatty acids. Both organisms were found to possess two distinct pathways for PUFA biosynthesis. One pathway, mediated by classical elongases and desaturases, was incomplete in both

Abstract:

Cytochromes P450 are a superfamily of haem-thiolate proteins found in all kingdoms of life. To date 11294 enzymes have been identified and have been shown to be involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of substrates, including hydrocarbons and xenobiotics. In yeast and fungi the hydroxylation of alkanes is associated with a family of cytochromes P450 enzymes known as CYP52s. These enzymes are involved in the terminal hydroxylation of long-chain alkanes resulting in the production of alcohols, which can be further converted to form fatty acids and diacids. In vivo such hydrocarbons can be s

<p> In the presence of arachidonic acid (AA), <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae </i> produces prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub> (PGE<sub>2</sub>). <i> S. cerevisiae</i> and its metabolites may be consumed in products manufactured using the yeast (e.g. beer). Neutrophils are immune cells present in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract during inflammation. As a lipid-signaling molecule, PGE<sub>2</sub> can potentially modify neutrophil functions and exacerbate pre-existing inflammation. As neutrophil migration is a hallmark of inflammation, we investigated the impact of PGE<sub>2</sub> on neutrophil chemotaxis.

Abstract:

The role of fatty acids to overcome stress and contribute to disease progression is becoming increasingly evident in haematological diseases. Further, epigenetic factors play an important role in the aetiology of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and the transformation to secondary acute myeloid leukaemia (sAML). To investigate this in the MDS/sAML cell line, SKK-1, we employed a shRNA knockdown screen to target 912 epigenetic regulators. We then coupled this loss-of-function approach to a fatty acid metabolism-based assay with which we were able to cell-sort the SKK-1 cells based on the fatty a

Abstract:

Eggs enriched with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), particularly the longer chain PUFA (LCPUFA, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)) can boost human consumption of these fatty acids implicated in human health. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from plant seeds/oils, primarily serve as the source of omega-3 PUFA for hens, however, the scarcity of ALA-rich plants and the limited conversion of ALA to LCPUFA are challenges for egg enrichment. Two major experiments were conducted to determine potential factors regulating egg enrichment of omega-3 LCPUFA based on detaile

Primary fatty acid amides (PFAMs) and N-acylglycines (NAGs) are important signaling molecules in the mammalian nervous system, binding to many drug receptors and demonstrating control over sleep, locomotor activity, angiogenesis, vasodilatation, gap junction communication, and many other processes. Oleamide is the best-studied of the PFAMs, while the in vivo activity of the others is largely unstudied. Even less is known about the NAGs, as their discovery as novel compounds is much more recent due to low endogenous levels. Herein is described extraction and quantification techniques for PFAMs

Abstract:

The regulation of short chain fatty acid metabolism has been examined. Metabolism of acetoacetate, and short chain fatty acids such as butyrate and valerate, is predicated upon the expression of genes of the ato operon. Acetoacetate induces expression of a CoA transferase (encoded by the atoDA genes) and expression of a thiolase (encoded by the atoB gene). Metabolism of saturated short chain fatty acids requires the activities of the transferase and thiolase and enzymes of 6-oxidation as well. Spontaneous mutant strains were isolated that were either constitutive or that were inducible by vale

Abstract:

Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases are major problems in today's society, causing millions of deaths every year. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is a dysregulation of the fatty acid metabolism, where the balance between release and uptake of fatty acids is disturbed. Thus, understanding how fatty acid metabolism works is of great importance in the battle against these diseases. The human fatty acid release and uptake can be unraveled by measuring the difference in metabolite concentrations between an artery before the adipose tissue and a vein draining the ti
