Peroxisomal β-oxidation—A metabolic pathway with multiple functions
Fatty acid degradation in most organisms occurs primarily via the β-oxidation cycle. In mammals, β-oxidation occurs in both mitochondria and peroxisomes, whereas plants and most fungi harbor the β-oxidation cycle only in the peroxisomes. Although several of the enzymes participating in this pathway in both organelles are similar, some distinct physiological roles have been uncovered. Recent adv...
متن کاملBarley has two peroxisomal ABC transporters with multiple functions in β-oxidation
In oilseed plants, peroxisomal β-oxidation functions not only in lipid catabolism but also in jasmonate biosynthesis and metabolism of pro-auxins. Subfamily D ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate import of β-oxidation substrates into the peroxisome, and the Arabidopsis ABCD protein, COMATOSE (CTS), is essential for this function. Here, the roles of peroxisomal ABCD transporters were ...
متن کاملStudy of pulmonary functions in patients with metabolic syndrome
Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and impaired lung functions have been associated with an increased risk for coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the pulmonary functions in patients with MetS. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 subjects with MetS in the study group and 100 subjects without MetS in the control group. Participants were examined...
متن کاملPeroxisomal β-oxidation in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
Background: ABCD1 is a peroxisomal ABC transporter whose dysfunction causes X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). Results: β-Oxidation of C26:0 as well as C22:0 acyl-CoA esters is impaired in X-ALD. ABCD3 accounts for residual β-oxidation activity in XALD fibroblasts. Conclusion: ABCD1 mediates very long-chain acyl-CoA ester β-oxidation without need for additional re-esterification by an acyl-...
متن کاملMff functions with Pex11pβ and DLP1 in peroxisomal fission
PEROXISOMAL DIVISION COMPRISES THREE STEPS elongation, constriction, and fission. Translocation of dynamin-like protein 1 (DLP1), a member of the large GTPase family, from the cytosol to peroxisomes is a prerequisite for membrane fission; however, the molecular machinery for peroxisomal targeting of DLP1 remains unclear. This study investigated whether mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), which ...
