A Heterocomplex Formed by the Calcium-binding Proteins MRP8 (S100A8) and MRP14 (S100A9) Binds Unsaturated Fatty Acids with High Affinity

Abstract: We show that unsaturated fatty acids (FAs) bind reversibly and with high affinity to a heterocomplex of 34 kDa (FA-p34) formed by the non-covalent association of two calcium-binding proteins of the S100 family: MRP8 (S100A8) and MRP14 (S100A9). In abnormally differentiated keratinocytes (psoriasis) and in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes, FA-p34 is highly expressed (31.35 ؎ 1.6 and 349.8 ؎ 17.9 pmol of [ 3 H]oleic acid/mg protein, respectively), pointing toward a role for this heteromer in mediating effects … Show more

“…S100A8 is hydrophobic and interacts with unsaturated fatty acids (11). S100A8/A9 binds cytosolic p67 phox via S100A8 and delivers arachidonic acid, a positive regulator of NADPH oxidase (53).…”

“…The noncovalent heterocomplex, known as calprotectin, is an intracellular transporter of unsaturated fatty acids (11). Calprotectin regulates NADPH oxidase complex assembly and calcium-dependent signaling during phagocyte activation (12), and microtubule reorganization during leukocyte migration (13).…”

“…Several reports suggest that S100A8/A9 inhibits bacterial and fungal growth by zinc chelation and depletion of zinc, a necessary component of microbial growth (20, 24, 25, 46 -48). Furthermore, the proteins bind arachidonic acid, and depletion of arachidonic acid has also been suggested as a mechanism of bacterial growth inhibition (49,50). Observations suggesting that S100A8/A9 contributes to mucosal innate immunity are that the complex inhibits invasion of epithelial cells by bacterial pathogens (51), and a recent study showing that S100A9 is crucial for keratinocyte resistance to invasion by Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium (52).…”

“…acid in a calcium-dependent manner, whereas the S100A8 or S100A9 homodimers lack this property [6][7][8]. Data obtained through different experimental approaches suggest that arachidonic acid is an in vivo activator of the NADPH oxidase.…”

“…The S100A8/A9 protein might also serve as a reservoir and a carrier of arachidonic acid [6][7][8]. This latter finding is all the more noteworthy as arachidonic acid is currently used in cell-free system to activate the O 2 -generating NADPH oxidase, an enzymatic complex responsible for the microbicidal function of neutrophils and macrophages [9].…”
