Ymr210wp leads to the accumulation of phospholipids and steryl esters in yeast
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ymr210w was identified as a MAG (Monoacylglycerol) lipase. The accumulation of the phospholipids in the ymr210wΔ was not clearly understood. It was expressed in S. cerevisiae using pYES2/CT vector and His-tag purified recombinant protein confirmed TAG lipase activity. To further evaluate the role of YMR210w, ester hydrolase activity was also confirmed with pNP-acetate, pNP-butyrate and pNP - palmitate. GC-MS lipid profiling of ymr210wΔ showed an increase in the 15:0 Pentadecanoic acid by 76% among the total lipids. Phospholipid, Erucic acid 22:1 (Δ13) showed 43% increase while steryl esters showed significant changes with 16:0 hexadecanoic acid augmentations by 80% and 18:0 Octadecanoic acid by 165% when compared to wild type (WT). Increase in the steryl ester and TAG content supports the accumulation of lipid bodies in ymr210wΔ strain when compared with WT cells.

Dynamics of neutral lipid storage in yeast.
Since energy storage is a basic metabolic process, the synthesis of neutral lipids occurs in all kingdoms of life. The yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, widely accepted as a model eukaryotic cell, contains two classes of neutral lipids, namely steryl esters and triacylglycerols. Triacylglycerols are synthesized through two pathways governed by the acyl-CoA diacylglycerol acyltransferase Dga1p an...
متن کاملThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae YLL012/YEH1, YLR020/YEH2, and TGL1 genes encode a novel family of membrane-anchored lipases that are required for steryl ester hydrolysis.
Sterol homeostasis in eukaryotic cells relies on the reciprocal interconversion of free sterols and steryl esters. The formation of steryl esters is well characterized, but the mechanisms that control steryl ester mobilization upon cellular demand are less well understood. We have identified a family of three lipases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that are required for efficient steryl ester mobil...
متن کاملFatty Acid Component of Lipid of Euphausia Superba
Lipids extracted from the raw frozen and boiled-frozen krill, Euphausia superba, harvested in the Antarctic Ocean were identified and quantitated by a combination of thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. The lipid contents of E. superba on the wet weight basis were 3.41% of the raw frozen sample and 5.62% of the boiled-frozen sample. There were shown to consist of 0.8% of steryl esters, 27....
متن کاملA chilling sensitive mutant of Arabidopsis with altered steryl-ester metabolism.
A chilling-sensitive mutant of Arabidopsis thaliana was isolated and subjected to genetic, physiological, and biochemical analysis. The chilling-sensitive nature of the mutant line is due to a single recessive nuclear mutation at a locus designated chs1. In contrast to wild-type plants, which are not adversely affected by low temperatures, the chs1 mutant is killed by several days of exposure t...
متن کاملLipid dynamics in yeast under haem-induced unsaturated fatty acid and/or sterol depletion.
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, UFA (unsaturated fatty acids) and ergosterol syntheses are aerobic processes that require haem. We took advantage of a strain affected in haem synthesis ( hem1 Delta) to starve specifically for one or the other of these essential lipids in order to examine the consequences on the overall lipid composition. Our results demonstrate that reserve lipids (i.e. ...
