Research Abstract

Substantial amounts of acyl-CoA were formed when microsomes from several rat tissues were incubated with varying concentrations of free CoA and bovine serum albumin. even in the absence of ATP and Mg^<2+>. No appreciable amount of acyl-CoA was formed from free fatty acid or from boiled microsomes under the same experimental conditions. These observations indicate that acyl-CoA is formed from microsomal lipids by an enzyme activity distinct from previously known long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthase. Phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine appear to be preferred substrates. It seems possible that CoA-mediated cleavage of phospholipids/ATP-independent acyl-CoA synthesis is implicated in the metabolism of certain types of fatty acyl residues of membrane phospholipids in mammalian cells. In fact, we found that certain species of fatty acyl chains of microsomal lipids from rat hepatocytes underwent desaturation when the microsomal fraction was incubated with CoA and NADH.In contrast to esterified fatty acids, negligible change was observed for free fatty acids under the same experimental conditions. These results provide the evidence that the pathway of CoA-dependent/ATP-independent modification of fatty acyl chains is sufficiently active to account for the desaturation and chain elongation of fatty acids esterified in membrane lipids, especially phospholipids, of living cells.
