AtABCA9 transporter supplies fatty acids for lipid synthesis to the endoplasmic reticulum

Abstract: Fatty acids, the building blocks of biological lipids, are synthesized in plastids and then transported to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for assimilation into specific lipid classes. The mechanism of fatty acid transport from plastids to the ER has not been identified. Here we report that AtABCA9, an ABC transporter in Arabidopsis thaliana, mediates this transport. AtABCA9 was localized to the ER, and atabca9 null mutations reduced seed triacylglycerol (TAG) content by 35% compared with WT. Developing atabca9… Show more

“…AtABCA9, an Arabidopsis ER-localized A-type ABC transporter was shown to function in the process. [41] The atabca9 null mutant reduced seed TAG content by 35% and the developing atabca9 seeds incorporated 35% less 14 C-labelled-oleoyl-CoA into TAG compared with WT. Moreover, overexpression of AtABCA9 enhanced TAG deposition by up to 40%.…”

“…Moreover, overexpression of AtABCA9 enhanced TAG deposition by up to 40%. [41] This indicates that AtABCA9 may transport FA substrates for TAG biosynthesis at the ER during the seed-filling stage and some other transporters may be responsible for FAs transport from the cytosol into the ER.…”

“…They fulfil a range of functions within the plant and roles have been established in the transport of hormones, lipids, metals, secondary metabolites, and xenobiotics (reviewed in 114). The first member of the ABCA subfamily characterized, AtABCA9, has recently been demonstrated to mediate the transport of fatty acids for lipid synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum (115). A number of members of the ABCB subfamily are auxin efflux carriers (116), whereas AtABCB14 is a malate importer (117; as opposed to the protein expected to export malate out of the cytosol and into the symbiosome).…”

“…Metabolic flux studies with developing seeds have added a quantitative understanding of in vivo pathway usage in oilseeds (O'Grady et al, 2012). To modulate seed oil levels or composition, various attempts have been chosen, mostly relying on introducing specific enzymes (Weselake et al, 2008;Kelly et al, 2013) or metabolite transporters (Fuchs et al, 2013;Kim et al, 2013). A number of seed-specific transcription factors are known to affect oil storage capabilities (Le et al, 2010); their modulated expression as well as the introduction of engineered transcription factors can enable a more global modulation of oilseed metabolism (Century et al, 2008;Gupta et al, 2012;Singh et al, 2013).…”
