Molecular Pathways: Fatty Acid Synthase.
Therapies that target tumor metabolism represent a new horizon in anticancer therapies. In particular, cancer cells are dependent on the generation of lipids, which are essential for cell membrane synthesis, modification of proteins, and localization of many oncogenic signal transduction enzymes. Because fatty acids are the building blocks of these important lipids, fatty acid synthase (FASN) e...
متن کاملFIRE (fatty acid synthase insulin-responsive element) and ICE (inverted CCAAT element) regulate fatty acid synthase.
Introduction Fatty acid synthase (FAS) plays a central role in de novo lipogenesis in mammals and birds by catalysing the reaction in the conversion of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA into palmitate. FAS activity is not known to be regulated by allosteric effectors or covalent modifications. However, FAS concentration is exquisitely sensitive to nutritional, hormonal and developmental states [ 1-31....

متن کاملProtein interactions of fatty acid synthase II.
We have used a yeast two-hybrid approach to detect direct protein interactions between fatty acid synthase components. Enoyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) reductase was found to interact with stearoyl-ACP desaturase and acyl-ACP thioesterase, but none of these proteins interacted with ACP in the yeast nucleus.
متن کاملSuppression of fatty acid synthase promoter by polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Dietary polyunsaturated fat is known to suppress expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS), a central enzyme in de novo lipogenesis. The sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP) has recently been shown to be involved in this suppression. We previously reported that the first 2.1 kb of the FAS promoter are sufficient for transcriptional induction by a high carbohydrate diet as well as sup...
